Fine 19th-century engraving by Gustave Greux after a marine painting by the Dutch Golden Age master Simon de Vlieger. The scene shows sailing craft gathered on calm water near the harbour of Moerdijk, beneath a vast clouded sky. Greux’s delicate needlework preserves the quiet atmosphere and soft reflections of the original 17th-century composition.
Light even toning and small foxing spots; frame with minor corner losses.
