This painting shows a turbulent sea with waves crashing against the shore. The water is dark and choppy, with white foam at the crest of the waves. In the distance, there are a few boats on the horizon. The painting is done in oil paint and has a lot of texture to it, with thick brushstrokes that give it a rough, impasto feel. The colors are muted, with shades of gray and brown dominating the palette. If you like this painting, you might want to check out the work of Alfred de Knyff, the artist who created it.
