In the background, there are hills or islands with a faintly visible lighthouse. The illustration features distinctive linework and shading for light and shadow. The color palette is monochrome with various tones of gray, giving it a graphite drawing aesthetic. The open water stretches towards the horizon, creating a sense of space and depth.
