A horizontally oriented ink drawing on paper depicts a dark coastal scene. Large, black boulders crowd the foreground, leading to choppy water that crashes against rocks in a white plume of spray at the right. The top half is dominated by a heavy sky rendered in dense, intersecting lines. High contrast defines the landscape, with white paper gleaming through deep black ink. A signature marks the lower left corner.
