Turfschip van Breda, 1590 1753

"Turfschip van Breda" is an etching by Dutch artist Simon Fokke, dated 1753. The artwork depicts a ship, possibly a turf ship, being pulled through a canal, with a group of people standing around on the edge. The scene is set in front of a brick wall with trees and a tower in the distance. The fine lines of the etching capture the detail of the ship, the canal, and the people. It is a beautiful example of Fokke's work, known for its realistic depiction of 18th-century Dutch life. This print can be found in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
