Zeilschip van dichtbij gezien 1738 - 1811

Nicolas Marie Ozanne was a French artist known for his detailed drawings of ships. "Zeilschip van dichtbij gezien" (Sailboat Seen Close Up), dating from 1738-1811, is a fine example of his work. This etching depicts a sailing ship, its sails billowing in the wind, against a backdrop of a cloudy sky. The artist's focus on the ship's structure and the dynamic interplay of sails and waves reflects the maritime culture of his time. The drawing's small size emphasizes the ship's imposing presence, making it a captivating subject for art enthusiasts and maritime history buffs.
