Zeilboot op de Schelde before 1898

"Zeilboot op de Schelde" (Sailing Boat on the Scheldt) is a black and white photograph by Jacques Boitson, a Belgian artist who specialized in maritime photography. Taken before 1898, this small, detailed photograph depicts a single sailing boat moving across the water, capturing the beauty of the Scheldt River, a major waterway in Belgium and the Netherlands. The photograph is a testament to Boitson's keen eye for capturing the essence of everyday life and nature. The small size of the artwork (91 mm x 120 mm) suggests it was likely intended for a personal collection or album, offering an intimate glimpse into the artist's creative process and the beauty of the Dutch landscape.
