Zeegezicht 1708 - 1781

"Zeegezicht" (Seascape) is a pencil drawing on paper by Dutch artist Pieter Idserts. Created between 1708 and 1781, the work depicts a seascape with rolling waves and a distant shoreline, suggesting a calm but powerful maritime scene. The sky is dominated by large, puffy clouds, which are rendered with a delicate hand. Idserts was known for his masterful depictions of seascapes, often capturing the beauty and drama of the natural world in his works. This small drawing exemplifies the artist's skillful use of line and tone to convey depth and atmosphere. The careful details of the waves and clouds, coupled with the overall sense of stillness, create a contemplative and evocative image.
