Haringbuis c. 1860

Johan Conrad Greive’s "Haringbuis" is a detailed pencil drawing depicting a ship docked at a pier in a Dutch harbor. The ship, likely a herring boat, is the focal point of the artwork, with its sails billowing in the wind. The scene is set against a calm, clear sky, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. This drawing captures the beauty and tranquility of life on the water in 19th-century Netherlands, and reflects Greive's interest in maritime subjects.
