The ocean is shown in saturated colors - teal, yellow, green, and red - with black lines creating a choppy, turbulent texture. The horizon is high in the composition, conveying the size and power of the ocean. Two large ships navigate the waters, each with two smokestacks. The sky is shown in yellow and red, likely just after sunset. In the foreground, there are a few partially submerged rocks in similar colors.
