This late 19th-century continental seascape depicts a clipper ship navigating choppy waters under an overcast sky. The composition captures the maritime activity of the period, with additional sailboats and ships visible in the background. The artist skillfully renders the turbulent sea and overcast atmosphere, employing a traditional academic approach to marine painting that was popular during the era.
