Skibe is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows five old-style ships sailing on a calm sea under a partly cloudy sky. The waves are small, and the boats have tall masts with flags fluttering in the wind. One ship in the front is closer to the viewer and looks like it’s made of wood. The flags on the ships have red and white stripes, and the water is a deep blue with whitecaps. The sky is light, with soft clouds near the horizon. Next, check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more pieces like this.
