A drawing of a boat caught in heavy winds at sea. The drawing shows a small sailboat with billowing sails leaning dramatically against the force of the winds. The boat appears to be caught in tumultuous waters, with stylized waves swirling around it. The masts and ropes of the sail create diagonal lines that add to the sense of movement in the scene. The artist has used hatching and cross-hatching techniques to convey texture and depth in the water, sky, and clothing depicted in the image.
