The image depicts a seascape with several ships. The paper is light brown with darker brown spots. Ships are drawn in the distance on the water, which has waves. The ships have sails and masts. One ship with a large sail on the left appears closer to the viewer than the rest. The ship on the left has a flag on its mast. Other ships are to the right and appear smaller due to their distance. The sky above the ships and water is blank, with no details drawn. The overall scene shows a rough sea with ships sailing. The title of the image is "Shipping on a Rough Sea" by Willem van de Velde.
