Rough Seas with a Two-master and Sailboat

Johann Christian Clausen Dahl

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of two sailing ships on rough seas. The larger ship, a two-master with two masts, is positioned on the right side of the image, while a smaller sailboat is on the left. The two-master has multiple sails, while the sailboat has one large sail. The sky above is cloudy and dark. The water appears choppy, with waves visible around the ships. The drawing is set within a rectangular border and is placed on a piece of off-white paper with a rough texture. The paper has a slightly darker border around the drawing and a few small marks or indentations below it.
