Multiple ships with tall masts are depicted in a linear and abstract style. The horizon is low, and the sky is filled with dynamic vertical brushstrokes. The brushstrokes are textured and linear, creating a sense of movement against the stillness of the ships. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of black, gray, and white. The water reflects the masts, emphasizing the vertical lines in the image.
