This masterpiece, created in the 19th century, is currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark) in Copenhagen.

The ships are framed against a vast expanse of water, dotted with small boats and other vessels, and a clear blue sky. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, adding to the sense of tranquility and majesty. Eckersberg, a Danish painter, traveled extensively throughout Europe and Russia, and this painting is a testament to his skill in capturing the essence of the Russian maritime tradition.
