His works are celebrated for their dramatic portrayal of the sea and the skillful depiction of ships.

This particular painting exemplifies Bakhuizen's mastery in capturing the turbulent nature of the sea. The composition features several Dutch ships battling against a stormy sea, showcasing the artist's ability to convey movement and the raw power of nature. The sky is filled with dark, ominous clouds, adding to the sense of drama and impending danger. Bakhuizen's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the ships' rigging and the foamy waves crashing against the hulls.

Bakhuizen's work is often noted for its realistic portrayal of maritime scenes, which was achieved through his extensive study of the sea and ships. He was known to have taken boat trips to observe the sea in various weather conditions, which informed his dynamic and accurate depictions. His paintings not only highlight the technical prowess of Dutch shipbuilding but also reflect the importance of maritime trade and exploration during the 17th century.

"Dutch Ships in Rough Sea" is housed in several collections, with versions or similar works found in institutions such as the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
