## Commentary

Peeters&#39;s most characteristic work includes his atmospheric views, painted in a grey-blue monotone, of the wide estuary of the Scheldt and the coast of Flanders. This seascape shows different small ships and rowing boats in strong winds at a pier. On the left a mill and a church can be seen on the shore.
