Steven van een bomschuit 1834 - 1903

This pencil sketch, "Steven van een bomschuit," is a study by renowned Dutch artist Johan Hendrik Weissenbruch, known for his evocative landscapes. The drawing is likely a preliminary study for a larger work, capturing the essence of a ship, perhaps a "bomschuit" (a type of flat-bottomed sailing vessel), with loose, gestural lines. The simplicity of the composition and the focus on the ship's form showcase Weissenbruch's masterful handling of light and shadow.
