Naval Brig is a 1828 oil by Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, held at Nationalmuseum.
This painting shows a brig, a two-masted sailing ship, at sea. The ship is black with white sails, and two Danish flags fly from the masts. It's sailing on a choppy sea, with another ship visible to the left. The sky is cloudy, with a blue patch visible through the clouds. The painting is done in oil paint, and the artist has used light and dark to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The brig is the main focus of the painting, and the artist has captured its movement and energy. The painting is held at the Nationalmuseum. Next, look up the artist Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg.
