Triptych print of a seascape divided into three equal panels. The left panel depicts a mountain with a rounded snow-capped peak on the left with a pink-tinged sky above. In the left foreground, a small white boat with one mast rides the waves. The middle panel shows a large ship with one smokestack and a pointed bow. The right panel depicts a ship with three masts and a red and white flag flying at the middle mast. The ship sails to the right; another ship with three sails is visible on the right edge. The wave-tossed sea dominates the bottom half of all three panels. The sky fades from pink on the left to blue on the right. The right panel's sky contains a full moon.
