Woelige zee met zeilschepen is a 1849 oil by Unknown, held at Rijksmuseum.
The painting depicts a tumultuous sea with several sailboats in the midst of a storm. The dark, choppy waters are rendered in shades of brown and gray, with white highlights indicating the foam and spray. In the background, a gray sky with hints of blue suggests a stormy weather. A few seagulls are visible in the sky, adding to the sense of turmoil. The overall mood of the painting is one of drama and energy, capturing the power and fury of the sea. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, adds to the dramatic effect of the painting.
