Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of ships on water. Three ships are centered in the image, with the largest one in the middle featuring three masts and billowing sails. A chariot with four horses and a person is above the ships, surrounded by clouds. Two smaller ships are behind the large one on the left and right. A rocky outcropping and an anchor are on the left edge. The background includes cloudy sky with a bright light emanating from the top center.
