The image shows a rugged coastline with rocky outcrops meeting the sea. The horizon is slightly above the middle of the composition, blending the sea with the overcast sky. A distant silhouette of an island or landmass is visible on the horizon. A steamship is seen puffing smoke in the water nearby. The brushstrokes are rapid and loose, giving a dynamic appearance to the scene. The color palette includes earthy browns, greens, and blues with a pale, pastel-like quality. To the right, a few trees with whispy foliage rise against the sky.
