The image shows a coastal scene with figures navigating rocks and turbulent waters near the shore. Massive cliffs dominate the horizon with a tower or lighthouse on one cliff. The waves, sky, and seabirds are depicted dynamically with a monochromatic color palette of brown and sepia. A ship is seen in the distance.
