Schepen op zee voor Amsterdam before 1841

This lithograph, titled "Schepen op zee voor Amsterdam" (Ships at Sea before Amsterdam), was created by Charles Rochussen before 1841. The artwork depicts a bustling harbor scene in Amsterdam, with ships at anchor and people going about their daily lives. The artist, known for his maritime scenes, captures the city's historical maritime trade and its significance as a global port. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Rochussen's ability to convey the energy and vitality of a busy port in the 19th century.
