A Danish ship and other vessels becalmed
An atmospheric painting showing a Danish ship with other vessels, becalmed. Flying the Danish flag from the stern she is shown starboard bow view with her sails down. A number of figures are visible on board and several small boats are active around her as she waits for wind in order to set sail. To the left two other ships are in the same predicament, the ship furthest left has parts of her masts missing. Other shipping can be seen in the distance on the right. In the foreground are several floating barrels or buoys, on the left is a small rowing boat, and on the right a small fishing boat. The two figures on board are busy with their nets.
