This painting shows a stormy sea coast with big rocks. The water is rough and white, with a few birds flying above it. In the background, there are more rocks and a cloudy sky. The painting is done in watercolor with gouache, which gives it a soft but detailed look. The colors are mostly shades of brown and gray, with some white for the waves and clouds. The artist, Gabriel Hippolyte Lebas, was part of the Romanticism movement.
