This is a drawing of a coastal scene. The image shows an ocean viewed from a rocky shore, with waves crashing against the rocks. In the foreground, two figures are engaged amidst the waves, with their clothing flowing. The background includes a cliff, a bending tree, ships on the sea, and a cloudy sky. The drawing features textured detailing to create a sense of motion and tension.
