The painting presents a tempestuous and stormy atmosphere, with a tormented sky in shades of gray, blue and white, creating a swirling and dramatic atmosphere. In the foreground, three brightly colored mooring buoys contrast with the sand and rocks of the shore. The stranded buoys suggest a question: did the sailors go to sea, leaving these colorful witnesses to their absence?
