Description: | Dramatic seascape depicting ships and boats battling a fierce storm. In the foreground, a number of fishermen aboard a rowing boat reach out towards the wreckage of a mast in the water, and to the left, a man overboard. To the left of the composition, sailors fight against the wind aboard a ship; sails billowing. Close by, a second ship tilts on the waves. To the far right, more vessels battle against the storm, and in the distance, a harbour and mountains can be seen on the horizon. The sky above is heavy and dark, but for a break in the clouds where the sun's rays cast light over the distant landscape.
