A horizontally oriented woodcut is divided horizontally with a teal sea stretching across the horizon. Jagged white strokes of spray erupt centrally toward a muted tan sky, nearly obscuring a pale moon. Below, brown wooden pilings frame undulating teal water in the lower foreground. Four white gulls fly around the spray: three on the left and one on the right. In the upper left corner, handwritten text marks the sky.
