About the piece

Created in 1915 by Dutch artist Jacoba van Heemskerck, this expressionist work transforms a maritime scene into a rhythmic arrangement of bold lines and saturated color. The silhouetted trees and stylized white sails create a dramatic sense of depth and movement, characteristic of the early 20th-century avant-garde.
