A Sea-piece is a 1852 oil by John James Wilson, a British Romanticism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting shows a turbulent sea with several boats struggling against the waves. The largest boat, in the foreground, has a large sail that appears to be torn. In the background, there are other boats and what seems to be a coastline or a dock. The sky is filled with dark clouds, and the overall mood is one of turmoil. The artist has used a range of colors to depict the scene, from the deep blues and grays of the sea to the lighter tones of the sky. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, adding to the sense of energy and movement in the painting. The painting is held at the Scottish National Gallery.
John James Wilson (1818–1875) was the son of John Wilson who was a Scottish landscape and marine painter.
