The Rose Sea by Clyde Caldwell (1993)

Painted by Clyde Caldwell in 1993, The Rose Sea served as the cover art for the 1994 fantasy novel of the same name by authors S. M. Stirling and Holly Lisle, published by Baen Books. The artwork depicts two armed female warriors stationed on a ship's wooden deck against a dramatic crimson night sky under a full moon, with a burning three-masted vessel engulfed in flames in the distant sea. One warrior draws a recurve bow while her pointed-eared companion kneels with an ornate flintlock-style firearm, capturing the novel's swashbuckling blend of nautical adventure, high fantasy, and early black-powder technology.
