Zeilboten op zee met zicht op een stad 1915

Eugène Bejot's "Zeilboten op zee met zicht op een stad" (1915) depicts a serene scene of sailboats traversing the sea with a city in the distance. The black and white etching displays the artist's characteristic delicate lines, capturing the movement of the water and the sails. The composition, with its subtle gradations of tone and emphasis on the open sea, evokes a sense of tranquility and the expansive nature of the maritime landscape. The artwork is a prime example of Bejot's mastery of the etching medium and his appreciation for the beauty of the natural world. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a miniature work, measuring only 103 mm in height and 124 mm in width.
