"Zeilschip op stil water" (Sailing Ship in Calm Water) is a 1787 etching by Dutch artist Gerrit Groenewegen (1754-1826). The artwork depicts a sailing ship with its sails furled, navigating a calm body of water. Groenewegen, known for his maritime scenes, captures the stillness of the water and the ship's graceful form. The etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small-scale work, measuring 154 mm by 122 mm, yet it conveys the vastness of the sea and the quiet power of the ship.
