"Schipbreukeling houdt zichzelf vast aan een paal langs de oever" (Shipwrecked man holding onto a post on the shore) is a pencil drawing by the Belgian artist Guillaume Joseph Vertommen. The artwork depicts a single figure clinging to a post in rough seas, with a village and a distant ship visible in the background. The scene is reminiscent of maritime disasters and evokes feelings of isolation and desperation. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner, adding to the authenticity of the piece. This drawing exemplifies Vertommen's skill in capturing the drama of a human figure in a challenging environment.
