EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting titled "Women at the harbour" by Eugeen van Mieghem captures a serene and evocative scene. The artwork, housed in the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp, Belgium, showcases a group of women standing at the docks of a bustling harbor. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays the cold winter atmosphere through his masterful brushstrokes. The women are depicted with their profiles turned towards us, their direct gazes inviting us into their world. Their half-length figures stand out against the backdrop of boats and ships that populate the busy port. As we gaze upon this coastal scene, we can almost feel the chill in the air and hear the sounds of seagulls soaring above. Van Mieghem's portrayal of these women highlights their strength and resilience amidst an environment traditionally dominated by men. The painting not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to transportation and passenger conveyance during this era. It reminds us of how crucial harbors were for trade and travel, serving as gateways to distant lands. With its maritime theme and exquisite execution, "Women at the harbour" invites viewers to contemplate both historical context and timeless beauty. This artwork is truly a treasure within Art in Flanders' collection.
