Strand en zee met diverse boten 1793

This etching, "Strand en zee met diverse boten" (Beach and sea with various boats) by Gerrit Groenewegen, depicts a peaceful scene of boats anchored in a calm sea. Created in 1793, this work showcases Groenewegen's skill in capturing the delicate details of both the ships and the surrounding landscape. The artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch maritime art. Groenewegen's emphasis on realism and the depiction of everyday life on the water are characteristic of his style and contribute to the painting's enduring appeal.
