Schepen voor de kust bij een havenplaats 1751 - 1816

This etching, titled "Schepen voor de kust bij een havenplaats", was created by Dutch artist Reinier Vinkeles between 1751 and 1816. It depicts three ships sailing in the harbor of a coastal city, likely a Dutch port. Vinkeles is known for his meticulous detail, which can be seen in the ships' rigging and the cityscape in the distance. The etching, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the maritime trade and shipbuilding activities of the Dutch Golden Age.
