Zeilschepen op open water 1877

"Zeilschepen op open water" (Sailing Ships on Open Water) is an etching by Dutch artist Henri Seghers, created in 1877. Seghers, known for his maritime scenes, captures a calm moment on the open sea. The image depicts three ships, their sails billowing in the wind, against a hazy background, likely inspired by the Dutch Golden Age tradition of marine painting. This small-scale etching, measuring 80 mm by 139 mm, is a testament to Seghers' skill in rendering detail and atmosphere within a compact format.
