Vissersboten 1847 - 1865

"Vissersboten" (Fishing Boats), an 1847-1865 lithograph by Dutch artist Adolf Carel Nunnink (1813-1894) showcases the artist's mastery of capturing the tranquility of a Dutch harbor. The composition features two boats moored at a dock with figures silhouetted against the twilight sky. The soft light and muted tones of the print create a sense of peaceful solitude, characteristic of Nunnink's work. This artwork is a part of the Rijksmuseum collection, and its compact size (268 x 353 mm) enhances the intimate portrayal of this serene scene.
