"Vaartuig uit de vijfde eeuw" is a lithograph by Willem Jacob Hofdijk, a Dutch artist known for his depictions of maritime history. Created between 1847 and 1863, the artwork showcases a detailed rendering of a 5th-century ship navigating choppy seas. Hofdijk masterfully captures the vessel's structure and the turbulent water with meticulous strokes, highlighting the ship's sail and the dragon-like figurehead. This piece, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a visual glimpse into the maritime world of the past.
