Terugkeer van de Hollandse vloot na de slag bij Doggersbank, 1781 1788

Harmanus Vinkeles' "Terugkeer van de Hollandse vloot na de slag bij Doggersbank, 1781" (1788) is a detailed etching depicting the return of the Dutch fleet after the Battle of Dogger Bank. The scene shows a group of people gathered on a beach, eagerly watching the ships sail into port. The ships are depicted in detail, and the artist uses light and shadow to create a sense of depth and distance. Vinkeles was a Dutch artist known for his historical engravings and this work, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable record of a significant event in Dutch maritime history.
