Zeilschip 1773 - 1843

"Zeilschip" (Sailboat) is a delicate pencil sketch by Georges Michel, created between 1773 and 1843. The artwork, measuring just 84 mm by 105 mm, portrays a ship with its sails billowing in the wind. Michel, a master of the picturesque, captured the essence of movement and light in his subtle lines, conveying the ship's majestic presence at sea. This intimate sketch, a study of form and light, exemplifies Michel's mastery of drawing, a cornerstone of his artistic practice.
