Study of Clouds over the Sea is a 1826 oil by Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting is a study of clouds over the sea. The sky is filled with large, puffy clouds that are painted in shades of gray and white. The sea below is dark and calm, with only a few waves visible. The painting is done in oil paint and has a soft, dreamy quality to it. The clouds are the main focus of the painting, and they are depicted in great detail. The artist has used a range of brushstrokes to capture the texture and movement of the clouds.
