A powerful marine scene: fishing smacks under full sail ride the waves against a backdrop of towering cliffs and a brooding sky. The artist has captured the restless energy of the sea, with lively brushwork in the surf and a strong sense of movement in the vessels as they tack across the choppy waters. Light breaks through the clouds, glinting on the sails and lending drama to the composition.
