Abraham Storck the Elder, known for his maritime scenes, captures a bustling harbor in "Schiffe im Hafen." The drawing depicts multiple ships docked, their sails billowing in the wind, with a foreground showing men loading a donkey with cargo. The composition is characteristic of Dutch Golden Age art, depicting everyday life with meticulous detail. This drawing is part of the Städel Museum collection in Frankfurt, Germany.
