The image shows a sailor standing at the helm of a ship, holding the wheel. The background consists of the sea stretching into the distance, with faint waves indicated by delicate strokes. Birds are flying in the sky. The painting features fine brushstrokes adding texture to the water and the figure's clothing. The color palette is monochromatic, with browns and blacks against a light background.
