Zeegezicht met schip 1879

"Zeegezicht met schip" (Seascape with Ship) is an etching by Félix Hilaire Buhot from 1879. The artwork, now located in the Rijksmuseum, portrays a dramatic seascape with a single ship sailing away from the viewer. Buhot, known for his mastery of etching, used the technique to capture the subtle atmospheric effects of the scene, with the ship's silhouette framed against a dramatic sky. The composition, featuring a lone figure on a pier in the foreground, evokes a sense of solitude and introspection, making this print a captivating example of 19th-century realism.
