This is a warm, realistic painting of an Urk botter and a tjalk on the Zuiderzee (the IJsselmeer) in the Netherlands. Botters are historical vessels used for fishing. Painter Teun lives on Urk himself and has been a skipper for many years, so he is familiar with the open sea. It is a picture of old-fashioned fishing, which is now under threat. It gives a sense of nostalgia. Behind it, the island of Urk can be seen with a beautiful sunset. The waves and seagulls above the water bring the painting to life.
