The painting depicts a seascape with dark blue water and a cloudy sky. The water occupies most of the image, with waves breaking in the middle ground. White foam is visible on the waves. A few birds are flying low over the water in the bottom left. The sky is filled with gray and white clouds, with some sunlight peeking through on the right side. The overall mood is stormy. A small ship appears in the distance on the left side.
