A dramatic storm-tossed sea, with two small fishing vessels just out of the harbour in the centre and to the right. The right hand vessel is pulling in its nets. Wood lined harbour walls are in the foreground to the left, and two figures in the bottom left corner are standing on the walls watching the boats. There is a tall shed at the end of the jetty in the background to the left.
