The present lot was probably painted around 1910-1911. In these years Sluijters landscape paintings were dominated by his search to give expression to an atmosphere, a certain light or a season. Colours where bright and sunny. The Dutch luminist technique, very much related to pointillism, was not so dominant anymore in these years. Sluijters slowly developed towards a new modern style that found its highlights around 1912. Clear forms became more and more important in Sluijters' oeuvre, or as Loosjes-Terpstra stated about this period: 'Een serie doeken uit 1910 geven aan, wat hij vooral zocht: het uitdrukken van een bepaalde, intens ondergaande sfeer uit de dagelijkse werkelijkheid om hem heen'. (see Loosjes-Terpstra, Moderne Kunst in Nederland, Utrecht 1959, p. 85.)
It is very likely that the present lot depicts the lake near 'de Zaan' because of the three mills in the distance. The boat can be identified as a typical Dutch centreboard ship.
