The wave is illuminated from within, with shades of blue and gold. The water reflects a beam of light coming from the top left, which shines on the wave and the water to the right. The sky above is dark gray and cloudy. A small red light is visible in the distance on the right side. The overall color palette is dark and muted, with shades of blue, gray, black, and gold. The style is impressionist, with visible brushstrokes and texture. The title of the painting is "Moonlight, Wood Island Light" and it is by Winslow Homer.
