The Seagulls by Félix Bracquemond depicts a dense flock of seagulls flying low over turbulent ocean waves. The birds are rendered in detailed pencil, showcasing varying wing positions and orientations. Some gulls are flying towards the right, while others appear to be diving or skimming the water's surface. The ocean below is chaotic, with large, choppy waves and white foam. The sky above is filled with diagonal lines suggesting strong winds or stormy weather. The artwork is monochromatic, primarily shades of gray on a beige background, with the artist's signature visible at the bottom right corner.
