Het Amerikaanse schip Harmony Baltimore 1791

This 1791 drawing by Dutch artist Gerrit Groenewegen depicts the American ship "Harmony Baltimore," a merchant vessel. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Groenewegen's skill in marine art, capturing the ship's detailed rigging and sails against a cloudy sky and choppy sea. It offers a glimpse into the maritime trade of the late 18th century, capturing the "Harmony Baltimore" in its full glory. The drawing's small scale, measuring 173 mm by 246 mm, emphasizes the intricate detail that Groenewegen used to depict the ship. This artwork is a fine example of Dutch marine painting and provides insight into maritime history.
