"Stille vejr på havet" (Calm Weather at Sea) is an 1849 etching by Danish artist Vilhelm Kyhn (1819-1903). The artwork features a small sailboat with three figures onboard in the foreground, while a larger ship is in the distance. The scene is rendered in delicate lines, with the calm water reflecting the light of the sky above. This artwork, now in the collection of SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is characteristic of Kyhn's marine scenes, capturing the quiet beauty of the Danish coastline.
