This is a drawing of a scene on a ship steering in turbulent waters. The image depicts two figures at the helm of a ship, as seen from behind. The person on the left appears to be wearing a cap and raincoat, while the person on the right is obscured by a large coat and hat. The wheel of the ship is prominent in the foreground, and a nautical bell hangs beside it. The ocean in the background appears tumultuous, and another vessel leans precariously on the left side. The scene is depicted using strong, dynamic strokes which suggest motion and energy, showing a sense of determination amidst a challenging sea environment.
