About this work

A Stiff Breeze, attributed to Samuel Prout and dated 1805, shows a sailing boat with its sail leaning heavily as it is driven through choppy surf beside a stone pier. Two figures stand on the pier while flocks of gulls fly over the water, and a distant town and hills sit under a muted, cloudy sky.
