Zeilboot op zee before 1912

"Zeilboot op zee" (Sailing Boat at Sea) is a monochrome etching created by Belgian artist Joseph Edouard Van Looy before 1912. The small, intimate composition depicts a single sailboat with its sails billowing in the wind as it navigates a calm sea. Van Looy's work is known for its focus on capturing the subtleties of light and atmosphere, evident in the way he renders the soft gray tones of the sky and water. This etching is a testament to Van Looy's talent for depicting the simple beauty of maritime scenes.
