A fan-shaped zincograph on bright yellow paper features a sea scene rendered in dark brown ink. Swirling, frenetic hashes form a massive wave curving through the center, beneath a tiny ship on the horizon. To the right, a bearded man with medium-light skin clings to a boat as another face peers over him. Cursive text at the bottom left reads, "Les drames de la mer P Gauguin."
