The painting depicts a small boat caught in a tumultuous sea, with two figures struggling against the waves. The ocean is depicted with swirling, dynamic brushstrokes, emphasizing the movement of the water. The waves are a mix of deep greens and blues, capped with foamy whites. Above, the sky transitions from pale yellows to soft oranges, suggesting a dramatic sunset. The light source appears to be behind the clouds, casting a warm glow over the scene. The texture of the waves contrasts with the smoother areas of the sky, creating a sense of depth and drama. This painting bears resemblance to works by J.M.W. Turner, particularly his stormy seascapes that blend vibrant colors with emotive landscapes. Similarly, Caspar David Friedrich's works often explore the sublime in nature, showcasing the relationship between humanity and the vastness of the ocean. Both artists utilize light and atmospheric effects to evoke emotion and drama, akin to the tumultuous energy present in this piece.
