About this work

A pen and ink drawing on tan paper shows a sailing vessel with billowing sails cutting through choppy grey water in the foreground. Several other ships are visible in the distance along a low horizon under a hazy, sketched sky. The artwork is signed Anton Melbye and dated 1859 in the lower left corner.
