The painting depicts a dark sea scene with a large, dark object protruding from the water. The object appears to be a ship's bow or stern. The sea is choppy and rough, with waves crashing against the object. The background features a dark sky with clouds and a bright, full moon shining through. The dominant color palette is dark and muted, with shades of dark and light browns. The painting style is impressionistic with visible brushstrokes. A title of "The Toilers of the Sea" and an artist named Albert Pinkham Ryder are associated with the image.
