The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a sailboat sailing through a calm bay, framed by rugged mountains and a lone tree in the foreground. The minimalist, black and white print utilizes strong lines and subtle shading to create a sense of serene depth, reflecting the artist’s mastery of printmaking techniques.
