A horizontally oriented sepia etching depicts a stormy seascape with dark brown rocks contrasting against the white glint of water churning in frothy swaths. To the right, the spindly masts of a ship tilt sharply amidst turbulent waves. Small figures gather on the rocky shore. Birds scatter above. In the background, massive cliffs rise in steep angles, crowned by a lonely tower. Soft gradations of tone stylize the misty horizon. Dark formations frame the left.
