About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This work is an original black-and-white photograph by the renowned Dutch photographer Cas Oorthuys, titled "Work on board of a ship, Rotterdam". The image, dating from the period 1958-1959, presents a fascinating documentary view of the maritime industry and reflects the post-war activity in the port city.
The photograph is printed on paper and is presented in a sleek, silver-colored metal frame behind glass, featuring a spacious white passe-partout that enhances the composition. On the back is the official label of The Netherlands Photo Archives, including inventory number 2167/7, confirming the provenance and authenticity of the work. The image shows workers in action on the deck of a ship, captured with the characteristic eye for detail and human scale that typifies Oorthuys's oeuvre.
The artwork is in excellent condition, with the photographic print having fully retained its sharp contrasts and rich gray tones. The professional framing not only offers protection but also contributes to the refined appearance of the whole. The original archive stickers on the back contribute to the historical character of this collector's item.
This historical photography makes an understated yet powerful statement in a modern or industrial interior. The work comes into its own particularly well in a study, office space, or a minimalist living room, where it pays a subtle tribute to Dutch maritime history and classic documentary photography.
