Afgemeerde zeilboten voor een kust 1830 - 1860

"Afgemeerde zeilboten voor een kust" is a grayscale drawing by Albertus van Beest, a Dutch artist who lived from 1820-1860. The drawing features a small fleet of ships, including a large sailboat, all of which are anchored near the coastline of a small town. Van Beest's drawing, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is an excellent example of 19th-century maritime art, popular among art-lovers of the time. This style of drawing was often used to capture the tranquil beauty of nature and the work of seafarers.
