AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Atmospheric oil painting on canvas by Siem Schaeffer (1924–2005), depicting a busy Rotterdam harbor scene with several ships.
Central in the composition lies a large sea-going vessel, with in the foreground a characteristic tugboat that sails through the moving water. In the background are various other ships, cranes and harbor activities visible.
Schaeffer has depicted the harbor view with a loose, impressionistic brushwork. The water in particular is vividly painted, with bold brushstrokes and fine reflections. The gray-blue tones of the water and sky are alternated with warmer accents on the ships.
Siem Schaeffer was a Rotterdam-based painter and is known, among other things, for his Dutch landscapes, cityscapes and Rotterdam harbor scenes.
The painting is bottom-left hand-signed “S. Schaeffer” and, based on visual inspection, in neat condition.
