Zeilschip bij een kade in een stad 1890 - 1946

"Zeilschip bij een kade in een stad" (Sailing Ship at a Quay in a City) is a pencil drawing by Cornelis Vreedenburgh, dating from 1890-1946. The drawing, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures a quick sketch of a sailing ship docked at a city quay. Vreedenburgh, known for his urban landscapes, employs a loose and expressive style in this artwork, capturing the essence of a bustling harbor scene through swift, gestural lines. The simplicity of the lines and the composition emphasize the artist's focus on capturing the moment rather than meticulous detail. This drawing showcases Vreedenburgh's ability to depict the urban environment with both accuracy and artistic flair, making it a valuable glimpse into the everyday life of a city during the early 20th century.
