The image features two figures on the left side, one seated and one standing and pointing towards the sea. The horizon is in the upper third, separating the sky and water. A ship is visible on the horizon. The brushstrokes are loose and sketchy, creating a dynamic look. The color palette is soft beige and dark black, with lines in the sky and sea indicating depth and movement.
