To the left, a sailing boat with a triangular sail and several silhouetted figures is depicted against a background of more waves and cloud-like shapes. Smaller figures with similar dark hair appear behind and around the central figure, some seated and some holding ropes or poles. Strong black outlines and solid black shapes create high contrast with the light background, and radiating lines at the top suggest light or movement. The composition is tall and narrow, with flowing curvilinear wave motifs in the lower portion and angular boat and rigging elements intersecting the figures.
