Shipping in a breeze is a 1860 oil by Jules Dupré, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting shows a seascape with two small sailboats on choppy water. The boats are near the bottom of the image, and the sky above is cloudy and gray. The artist used oil paint to create the scene. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured look. The colors are muted, with shades of blue and gray dominating the palette. The overall mood of the painting is calm and serene, despite the choppy water. If you like this painting, you might also enjoy works by artist Jules Dupré.
