The image displays a vast sea with a low horizon. A sailing ship with full sails is prominent on the right, while distant ships are faintly visible on the left. The waves are shown with energetic brushstrokes, depicting movement. A smaller boat leans into the wind further out. Light clouds fill the sky, and the color palette is warm sepia tones.
