Henri Braakensiek's "Haven van Antwerpen" (1922) is a lithograph depicting a harbor scene with multiple ships docked along the water's edge. The artist uses a muted brown color palette, lending the artwork a hazy, dreamlike quality. The composition focuses on the vessels in the foreground, with the cityscape in the distance, emphasizing the harbor's bustling activity. Braakensiek's work was often inspired by the landscapes and urban scenes of his native Netherlands. This print is a prime example of the artist's ability to capture the essence of industrial harbor life with a subtle and expressive touch.
