About the piece

Created in 1824 by the Dutch master Martinus Schouman, this evocative work depicts the packet boat 'De Zwaan' (The Swan) as it maneuvers through turbulent waters near the Groothoofdspoort in Dordrecht. The painting is a superb example of the Dutch maritime tradition, characterized by its luminous treatment of sky and water and its precise rendering of nautical detail.
