Zeilbootje in werft c. 1750 - 1800

"Zeilbootje in werft" is an etching by G. van Citters, dating from roughly 1750-1800. The small, detailed print depicts a sailboat docked near a windmill, showcasing the Dutch landscape typical of the artist's time. The use of etching, a technique where acid is used to create lines on a metal plate, results in a delicate and intricate image of a rural scene. This small but charming print, measuring only 123 mm by 99 mm, exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with capturing the beauty of everyday life.
