Ships at Sea by Ludolf Backhuysen depicts a seascape with two prominent ships in the water. The ship on the left has three masts with sails, facing left. The ship on the right has three masts with broken sails, facing right with the bow slightly raised. The sea around the ships has choppy waves. The sky occupies most of the image with gray and white clouds. The drawing style is sketchy with brown lines and minimal color. The overall mood is stormy. The image is rectangular with a thin dark border.
