The scene is a seascape under a dramatically cloudy sky, with the sun attempting to break through. The sea is calm and reflective, with a few rocks visible near the shore. A small white navigational aid stands in the water to the left. A prominent, large, dark cloud formation dominates the center of the frame, obscuring a portion of the setting sun and casting shadows on the water. The sky is a mix of gray clouds and patches of yellow and orange from the sunset. A few tiny figures of people can be seen standing in the shallow water.
