Black and white image of a seascape. Beige-colored border surrounds the image on all sides. The image depicts a large body of water stretching across most of the scene. The water contains several ripples and lines. On the left side, people are standing in the water. On the left side of the horizon, there is a ship with three masts. On the right side, there is a small island densely covered in trees and several tall palm trees. The sky contains several large fluffy clouds covering most of the sky. The clouds have a dark shadow on the bottom.
