Zeilschip op zee Possibly 1940 - 1945

"Zeilschip op zee," an anonymous photograph from the Rijksmuseum, captures a Dutch sailing ship with its sails billowing as it cuts through the waves. The black and white composition, likely taken between 1940-1945, emphasizes the ship's silhouette against the cloudy sky, creating a sense of movement and maritime drama. The small size of the photograph, measuring 7.5 cm in height and 5.5 cm in width, suggests it may have been a personal snapshot or part of a collection.
