The image displays a view of the sea with two sailing ships navigating turbulent waters. The horizon line is located high in the image. The text "SANDY HOOK" is visible above the horizon. On the right, a lighthouse is depicted guiding the ships. The brushstrokes emphasize movement with flowing lines and dramatic curves, especially in the waves and sails. The color palette includes blues and browns, with the ocean and sky in shades of blue contrasting the earthy tones of the ships and shoreline.
