Golvend water met een roeiboot bij een boei 1705

"Golvend water met een roeiboot bij een boei" (Wavy water with a rowing boat near a buoy) is a 1705 drawing by the Dutch artist Wigerus Vitringa. It depicts a small rowing boat with four men, pulled by a rope towards a larger sailing vessel with its sails billowing in the wind. The scene is set against a backdrop of choppy water, a light sky and other small boats in the distance. This drawing highlights Vitringa’s keen eye for detail and his skill in capturing the movement of both water and vessels. It is a classic example of Dutch maritime art of the 18th century.
