A horizontally oriented etching in black ink depicts a boat with a large sail on a choppy sea. Dense, frenzied lines create the dark hull and turbulent water. Figures huddle in the boat on our left. To our right, a robed figure stands upon the water. A faint circular shape sits in the pale sky, and a tall, narrow form rises from the water in the distant background.
