Vissersboten op open water 1764 - 1826

"Vissersboten op open water" (Fishing Boats on Open Water) is an etching by Gerrit Groenewegen, a Dutch artist known for his maritime scenes. This print depicts a fleet of fishing boats sailing on a calm sea, with a cloudy sky above. The composition is balanced, with the boats arranged in a diagonal line, creating a sense of movement. The etching is a testament to Groenewegen's skill in capturing the details of the sea and the vessels. This work, created between 1764 and 1826, is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering viewers a glimpse into the Dutch maritime tradition.
