On a rough sea with large waves are a few three-masters depicted; the left one is the most distant one, while the right one is situated closest to the viewer. The painting has the same measurements as another painting by Mulier (BHC0821) with the same composition, but in reflection. The wave in the left foreground strongly resembles a similar one in the right foreground of the other painting. The viewpoint in this painting (BHC0818) is slightly higher and in the water the crests are more separated from the waves than in the other painting (BHC0821), where they are more fluently merged into each other. Right in the middle of the picture a piece of wood drifts in the sea. It has no signature drawn onto it, while in the other painting it has. The painting is quite light, thus showing quite some detail in the rendering of the ships.
