His works are celebrated for their realistic portrayal of ships, water, and atmospheric conditions, reflecting the rich maritime heritage of the Netherlands.
In "The Old Harbour, Flushing, Holland," Koekkoek Jr. employs a masterful use of light and shadow to bring the scene to life. The painting features a variety of vessels, from small fishing boats to larger merchant ships, anchored or navigating the calm waters of the harbor. The detailed rendering of the ships' rigging, the reflections on the water, and the subtle gradations of the sky demonstrate Koekkoek's technical prowess and deep understanding of his subject matter.
The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the harbor's architecture and the distant horizon providing a sense of depth and perspective. The presence of figures engaged in various activities adds a narrative element to the scene, inviting viewers to imagine the daily lives of the harbor's inhabitants during that period.
