The painting shows a scene of waves breaking on the shore. It's a simple scene, but what's interesting is that the artist was experimenting with different techniques. The artist was also known for his work with woodcuts, which was a relatively new medium at the time, and this experience likely influenced his approach to painting. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist Auguste Louis Lepère.
