The middle distance contains low grassy marshland and a narrow strip of land with small buildings and a windmill silhouette, while a small boat with a vertical mast floats on the water nearer the center and another boat with a tilted mast lies farther right. A solitary figure walks along the wet sand toward the water near the right side, and a few birds are visible near the shore. Above, the sky is filled with large, billowing clouds rendered with fine, horizontal and curved linework, creating an expansive, textured atmosphere across the top two thirds of the image.
