The image is a sketch of a coastal landscape. The horizon is slightly above the middle of the composition, with a cliff formation extending into the water. The style is simplistic, with quick, confident brushstrokes and straight lines. The color palette is mainly black and beige. The water stretches towards the horizon, and the sky has subtle cloud formations.
