Studieblad met roei- en zeilboten c. 1803 - 1818

This pencil sketch by Arnoldus Johannes Eymer, dating from around 1803-1818, depicts a series of small boats. Eymer, a Dutch painter, was known for his marine landscapes. The work is a quick and gestural drawing of a scene perhaps from the artist's observation of the sea and its vessels. It's possible the sketch is preparatory for a larger painting, showcasing Eymer's keen eye for detail and his understanding of maritime life. This simple yet evocative study highlights the artist's mastery of line and composition, characteristic of his style.
