Zeilboot legt aan 1809 - 1838

"Zeilboot legt aan" (Sailing boat mooring) is a pencil drawing on paper by Johannes Christiaan Schotel. It depicts a small sailboat with sails billowing as it docks near a shore. The scene is framed by a dramatic sky with heavy clouds. The composition emphasizes the boat as it sails towards the viewer, creating a sense of movement and tranquility. This drawing, dating from 1809-1838, is housed in the Rijksmuseum and offers a glimpse into Schotel's keen observation of Dutch maritime life.
