Hoogaars c. 1860

"Hoogaarts" is a pencil drawing by Johan Conrad Greive, dating back to 1860. The artwork depicts two ships in a harbor, with the left one beached and the right one in the water. The drawing is detailed in its depiction of the ships, including their rigging, sails, and hulls, and shows a peaceful scene of the harbor. Greive's style is characterized by the precision of his lines, which capture the subtle forms of the ships and their surroundings. This work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, represents a moment in the history of Dutch maritime art, reflecting the importance of the sea and its vessels in Dutch culture.
