Zeilboten in een binnenhaven c. 1936

"Zeilboten in een binnenhaven" (Sailing Boats in an Inner Harbor) is a c. 1936 pencil sketch by Dutch artist Cornelis Vreedenburgh (1880-1946). The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a simple yet evocative moment of boats docked in a harbor. Vreedenburgh's loose, expressive lines suggest the movement of water and the graceful shapes of the vessels. The sketch's minimalist style and focus on the essential elements of the scene invite viewers to appreciate the beauty of everyday life.
