Zeilschepen op het water, bij de oever 1860 - 1921

"Zeilschepen op het water, bij de oever" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Adolf le Comte, depicting a seascape with two sailboats. Created sometime between 1860 and 1921, the work showcases le Comte's preference for soft, muted tones, capturing the tranquility of the scene. The drawing's composition emphasizes the expanse of the water, while a small group of trees on the shore in the foreground provides a visual anchor. The sailboats, rendered in a simplified manner, add a sense of motion and depth to the scene, creating a serene and atmospheric composition. The piece exemplifies le Comte's skill in capturing the essence of nature through his sensitive brushstrokes and subtle use of color.
