Aangemeerde zeilboot 1847 - 1865

"Aangemeerde zeilboot," a lithograph created by Petrus Johannes Schotel between 1847 and 1865, portrays a detailed depiction of a Dutch sailing vessel moored at a dock. The artist, a well-known Dutch lithographer, specialized in maritime subjects, capturing the daily lives of sailors and fishermen. The work, held at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Schotel's mastery of detail, emphasizing the textures of the boat's wood, the rippling water, and the sailors' clothing. This piece is a valuable document of 19th-century Dutch maritime life.
