This painting is a copy of a portion of, or possibly a sketch for, "Ships in a Turbulent Sea" in the Rijskmuseum in Amsterdam. Often compared to Ludolf Bakhuysen and Willem van de Velde the Younger, Schotel is regarded as one of the most important marine painters of Dutch romanticism. He excelled at capturing the effects of light and churning waters off the Dutch coast.
