The painting depicts a dark and stormy landscape. The sky is dark gray with clouds. Several birds fly in the sky. The foreground shows a beach with dead animals, including a large serpent-like creature, a few dead horses or similar large animals, and dead trees. The water appears choppy and turbulent, with white caps on the waves. The overall color palette is dark and muted, with shades of brown, gray, and black dominating the scene.
