Barca a vela in un estuario

Secolo d’oro olandese, circa 1627–1629

The drawing shows an elevated view of a waterway with a sailboat on the right. The horizon is low, with trees and shrubs separating the water and sky. The pencil strokes capture the water and foliage with a light touch. The monochrome palette adds a serene quality. The reflection of the boat is depicted with heavier strokes, while the background trees have lighter detail.
