Marine galleon

This drawing shows a big wooden galleon tossing on rough waves. Its sails flap in the wind. Smaller ships drift nearby. Van Beest made these ships look almost real. He used lines that cross like a net to show shadows and waves. The brown ink and wash make the sea feel stormy. Look up this artist next: Beest, Albertus van, (1820-1860), (artist)
