Vissersboot op het water 1830 - 1860

"Vissersboot op het water" (Fishing Boat on the Water) is a pencil drawing by Albertus van Beest, a Dutch artist known for his marine paintings. Created between 1830 and 1860, the artwork captures a single fishing boat with its sail raised, sailing on a calm sea. The delicate strokes and subtle shading create a sense of tranquility and depict the boat with realistic detail. This drawing showcases van Beest's keen eye for observation and his ability to convey the beauty of the natural world through his art. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this work is a testament to van Beest's talent for capturing the essence of maritime life.
