Drie afgemeerde schepen op een strand 1928

"Drie afgemeerde schepen op een strand" (Three Moored Ships on a Beach) is a 1928 etching by Dutch artist Lodewijk Schelfhout (1881-1943). This artwork, currently held at the Rijksmuseum, depicts three ships beached on a sandy shore with a small town in the distance. Schelfhout's use of fine lines and subtle shading conveys a sense of tranquility and solitude. The composition, with its emphasis on the horizon and the vast expanse of the sea, evokes a feeling of peacefulness.
