Twee mannen in gesprek op een omgekeerde sloep 1751 - 1816

"Twee mannen in gesprek op een omgekeerde sloep" is an etching by Dutch artist Reinier Vinkeles, created between 1751 and 1816. The artwork depicts two men seated on an upturned boat, conversing as they watch several ships sailing in the distance. The scene, likely set in a Dutch harbor, highlights Vinkeles' skill in capturing detail, particularly evident in the rendering of the ships, clouds, and water. This etching exemplifies the Dutch tradition of maritime art, a genre popular during the Golden Age of Dutch painting. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam houses this work, measuring 203 mm in height and 145 mm in width.
