This painting shows a coastal scene with a rocky shoreline and a few boats in the water. The sky is cloudy and grey, with a few birds flying overhead. In the foreground, there are some large rocks in the water, and a small boat is sailing away from the shore. The water is choppy, with white waves crashing against the rocks. The painting is done in watercolour, with soft brushstrokes and muted colours. It has a sense of movement and energy, with the wind and waves creating a sense of dynamism.
