Boats with Brown Sails is a 1881 oil by Nathaniel Hone the Younger, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
The painting depicts two boats on a body of water, with the one on the left being larger and closer to the viewer. The boats have brown sails and are positioned in the foreground, with the water and sky taking up the rest of the composition. The sky is light-colored, with some darker clouds visible. The boats appear to be in a calm state, with no signs of movement or activity. The overall atmosphere of the painting is serene and peaceful, with the soft colors and gentle lighting contributing to this effect.
