This painting shows a small boat sailing near a rocky shore. The water is choppy, painted in soft blues and whites, while the cliffs behind it are muted browns and grays. The sky is light and hazy, blending into the horizon. The brushstrokes are loose, giving the scene a dreamy, slightly rough look. This style was common in watercolors of the time.
