Sailing Vessels: Armed Four-Master Putting Out to Sea

Pieter Bruegel

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of a sailing ship with four masts on a choppy sea. The ship is in the center and faces left. The sails on the left and right masts are billowed. A flag flies from the top of each mast. The ship has a flat bottom and a row of cannons along the side. A city skyline is visible in the background, with a large tower and spires. There are smaller boats to the right and left. Birds fly in the sky. The sky is cloudy. The image is framed by a thin white border.
