Zeilschepen in een haven 1822 - 1845

"Zeilschepen in een haven" (Sailing Ships in a Harbour) is a lithograph by Dutch artist Leonard de Koningh, dating from 1822-1845. The artwork depicts a dramatic seascape featuring several sailing ships navigating choppy waters. De Koningh masterfully captures the movement of the ships, with their sails billowing in the wind, as well as the powerful energy of the sea. The composition is balanced, with the ships positioned in the foreground, while the distant shore and sky provide a sense of depth. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
