Shipping on a Choppy Sea

Stephen Ongpin Fine Art

Medium Pen and brown ink and grey wash, with framing lines in black ink.

Dimension 267 x 370 cm (105¹/₈ x 145⁵/₈ inches)

It has been suggested that this seascape may depict a view off the coast at Katwijk aan Zee, on the North Sea, with the Katwijk lighthouse – built in 1605 and the second oldest surviving lighthouse in Holland - visible in the left background. A similar wash drawing of shipping in a strong wind by Petrus Schotel was formerly in the Hans van Leeuwen collection.
