A square woodcut print in black, gray, and white depicts a maritime scene. Two dark anchors dominate the foreground; one leans diagonally, its shank crossing a lower, spade-shaped fluke. Behind them, a yacht with massive triangular sails cuts through a sea of whitecapped waves. Bold, angular shapes and dense shading create sharp contrasts against a speckled gray background, emphasizing the dynamic, geometric arrangement of the sails and nautical forms.
