To skibe bag en bølgebryder, det ene kølhalet 1623 - 1664

Reinier Nooms, also known as Zeeman, was a Dutch artist who specialized in maritime scenes. This etching, *To skibe bag en bølgebryder, det ene kølhalet*, depicts a detailed view of ships at anchor in a harbor. Nooms's masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and realism, capturing the movement of the water and the ships themselves. The artwork dates from a period when the Netherlands was a major maritime power, and the image offers a glimpse into the bustling maritime life of the 17th century. The etching is now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
