Zeilboot 1797 - 1838

"Zeilboot" is a pencil sketch by Johannes Christiaan Schotel, a Dutch painter and draughtsman who worked in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Created between 1797 and 1838, the drawing is a study of a sailboat, capturing the ship's hull and rigging in a detailed and precise manner. This work exemplifies Schotel's interest in maritime subjects and his keen eye for capturing the intricacies of naval architecture. Today, the sketch is housed in the renowned Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
