Shipping Scene from the Collection of John Chicheley

Elisha Kirkall after Willem van de Velde the Elder

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a maritime scene with two ships surrounded by towering waves. The sea is stormy, and the sky is filled with dark clouds. The brushstrokes are detailed, depicting movement in the waves and sails. The colors are muted greens, grays, and blues. One ship is tilting, and another ship is behind it.
