Gerrit Groenewegen's "Schiffe vor einem Damm mit Laterne und Leiter" is a monochrome depiction of several ships docked at a pier. The scene is rendered in a delicate, almost translucent wash, and the ships are depicted with a fine detail that is characteristic of Dutch maritime art. The work, likely created during the late 18th or early 19th century, captures the bustling activity of a Dutch port, showcasing the importance of maritime trade in the Netherlands during this period. The work is now housed in the Städel Museum.
