The painting depicts a turbulent sea with a ship in the distance, its sails torn and broken. The waves are rough and choppy, with white foam cresting at their peaks. In the foreground, the water is a deep blue-green, gradually lightening to a pale blue towards the horizon. The sky above is a pale blue-grey, with clouds scattered across it. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of turmoil and chaos, with the ship struggling to stay afloat in the stormy seas. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artists who specialize in Impressionism.
