The image depicts a large, three-masted ship sailing on turbulent ocean waves during what appears to be either sunrise or sunset, as suggested by
the warm light in the sky. The ship is detailed with rigging and sails, and it has
multiple layers of decks visible from the side perspective. There are also several crew members visible on the deck, which adds
a sense of scale to the image. The overall style of the painting suggests a romanticized or historical interpretation of
maritime life.
