The middle ground features a flat shoreline with a small building that has a curved roofline and a spirelike element, surrounded by low structures and distant windmills. The sky dominates the composition with swirling, layered cloud formations rendered in dense, curving lines and a pale, bright opening in the cloud cover that contrasts with the darker, heavily hatched clouds. The ground and vegetation are depicted with rhythmic, linear strokes that echo the curving patterns in the sky.
