About this work

This painting shows a stormy sea with waves and dark clouds. There are three sailboats in the water, and one of them has its sails down. The boats seem to be trying to escape the storm. The sky is full of big, dark clouds that look like they're about to rain. The water is very choppy, with big waves that look like they could tip the boats over.
