Boot ter reparatie op een helling liggend 1801 - 1873

"Boot ter reparatie op een helling liggend" (Boat Lying on a Slope for Repair), created between 1801 and 1873 by Dutch artist Pieter George Westenberg (1791–1873), is a simple yet striking pencil drawing depicting a boat propped up on wooden supports, likely undergoing repairs. This small-scale work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Westenberg's keen eye for detail and his mastery of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and realism within the composition. The minimalist yet evocative depiction of the boat and its surrounding environment exemplifies the artist's focus on capturing everyday scenes and the realities of life in his time.
