Twee driemasters op het water 1797 - 1838

"Twee driemasters op het water" (Two Three-Masted Ships on the Water), a pencil sketch by Johannes Christiaan Schotel, is a simple yet evocative depiction of two ships on the water. The artist, known for his maritime scenes, captured the ships' rigging and masts with delicate lines, creating a sense of the vessels' grandeur and strength. The drawing is a testament to Schotel's mastery of capturing the essence of his subjects, even in a quick sketch. This work, dating from 1797-1838, resides in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
