En galease sidevind, og en brig for vinden 1805

"En galease sidevind, og en brig for vinden" (A Galley with a Sidewind, and a Brig before the Wind) is a 1805 watercolor by Danish artist Niels Truslew (1762-1827). The artwork depicts two ships sailing on a calm sea. One ship, a galease, is moving with a sidewind, while the other, a brig, is sailing with a favorable wind. The ships are small but detailed, their sails billowing in the wind. The image is painted in soft, muted tones, with the sky and water blending together harmoniously. The work is held in the collection of SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst. This work exemplifies Truslew's skill as a marine painter.
