Boten bij een aanlegsteiger 1890 - 1946

"Boten bij een aanlegsteiger" (Boats at a Landing Stage) is a pencil drawing by Cornelis Vreedenburgh, a Dutch artist, created between 1890 and 1946. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a simple scene of a boat moored at a pier, with a figure standing on deck. Vreedenburgh’s drawing is characterized by its minimal detail, focusing on the essential lines and forms of the scene. The artist's choice of graphite allows for a subtle rendering of light and shadow, creating a sense of atmospheric depth. The work reflects Vreedenburgh’s keen eye for capturing the quiet beauty of everyday life in the Netherlands.
