The image shows three sailing boats from a side perspective. Two boats are in the foreground with full sails, cutting through waves, and a smaller boat is sailing in the distance. The horizon is higher up, meeting a mountainous landmass. Clouds drift in the sky above. The artwork is in a monochrome palette, using smooth lines and cross-hatching for texture.
