Henri François Schaefels's "Schip in nood wordt geholpen vanaf een steiger" (Ship in Distress Being Assisted from a Pier) is an 1863 etching that depicts a ship in trouble near a pier. The use of fine lines and hatches creates a sense of movement and texture in the image, highlighting the dramatic scene. The artist's detailed depiction of the ship, the pier, and the stormy sky emphasizes the urgency of the situation. This small-scale etching, measuring 63mm by 92mm, is a testament to the artist's skillful use of line and tone in capturing a moment of maritime drama.
