The image shows a seascape with dramatic sky meeting turbulent ocean. A ship is visible on the horizon. The brushstrokes are flat and graphic, resembling a print. The color palette includes blues, pinks, and browns. Two lighthouses are depicted on rocks in the foreground. Waves crash around a ship with sails. "Sandy Hook" is written above the ship.
