Opvarenden en bemanning op een boot 1778

"Opvarenden en bemanning op een boot" (Passengers and crew on a boat) is a 1778 drawing by Louis Ducros. It depicts five figures on a boat, including a man sitting on a barrel, another seated on a large bag, a third working on a small boat, a fourth standing with his arms crossed, and the last seated on a bench, sketching. Ducros, born in 1748 and known for his detailed drawings of daily life, captures the mundane tasks of those aboard this vessel. The drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies Ducros' meticulous attention to detail.
