The image features a skeletal shipwreck surrounded by rock-like formations. The viewpoint is slightly elevated, showing a landscape with waves in the distant horizon and clouds in the sky. Precise line work details the textures of the wood and rocks. The color scheme is monochromatic, creating a strong visual contrast between the subjects and empty space. Bones and rocks are depicted in detail in the foreground, connected to the shipwreck. Waves in the distance suggest movement in the scene.
