Study of Clouds over the Sea is a 1826 by Unknown artist, a Romanticism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a wide, empty sky with big, soft clouds. The clouds are light and fluffy, floating over a dark, flat line that looks like the sea. The colors are mostly gray, white, and a little blue, with no sharp edges—just smooth shapes blending together. The artist focused on the mood of the sky, not details.
