Vroom is one of the founders of European maritime painting. This painting depicts the Danish Sound, a strait between Denmark and Sweden and an important passage for international trading ships. In the north, the Danish town of Elsinore is depicted with Kronborg castle. Dutch ships sail in the foreground; the ship to the very left carries an English flag.
