There is an illustration of a scene on a body of water depicted from a slightly elevated angle. The image shows a small boat with two women and one man seemingly losing control. Another figure in the water appears agitated. The horizon line is visible in the upper portion of the image, with faint hills or landforms in the background. The trees and land are rendered with light, loose brushstrokes, giving a sense of movement. The color scheme is monochromatic with varying shades of black, white, and gray, emphasizing the figures in the boat and in the water. The figures nearer to the viewer are outlined with darker lines.
