Una pintura de una costa rocosa con oleaje oscuro que rompe en blanco alrededor de rocas pardo rojizas bajo un cielo azul pálido. Varias figuras pequeñas están de pie y sentadas en la saliente alta a la derecha, y un barco de vela cruza el horizonte lejano. La escena está pintada al óleo con detalle fino.
