A horizontally oriented oil painting depicts a dark, stormy seascape where a ship with a red hull and cream sails at center left cuts through thick, foam-flecked water. On deck, figures in red caps gather near a bright orange flash at the bow pointing toward another vessel obscured by dense gray smoke. Swirling, dark clouds dominate the sky, ending in a faint sliver of land on the far right horizon.
