Reinier Nooms, called Zeeman

National Gallery of Art

This is an etched image of a harbor titled "Bickers Eylandt." The viewpoint is slightly elevated, showing numerous ships and boats along the docks and in the water. Several boats are moored close by, with dark sails depicted in delicate line work. In the middle distance, larger ships with multiple masts and flags are docked. A windmill is seen on the horizon. The etching technique includes fine cross-hatched lines depicting various textures. The color palette is monochrome. The sky has wispy clouds. A small structure with a figure on the porch is visible behind the pier.
