About this work

The Battle of Terheide is a drawing that shows a naval battle scene. It's interesting because the artist used pen and ink on canvas to create a detailed image. The artist actually witnessed the battle and used their sketches as studies for this work. The drawing's style is similar to that of an artist who uses a technique like cross-hatching.
