About this work

This painting shows a ship in rough seas. The ship is white and has three masts. It's being tossed about by large waves. The sky above is cloudy and grey. In the background, another ship can be seen, but it's smaller and farther away. The waves are crashing against the ship, making it hard to stay upright. The painting is done in oil paint and has a lot of detail. The National Gallery of Ireland has this painting.
