In this maritime scene, a precarious fishing boat struggles to stay afloat in a rough sea. The composition, dominated by the violent movement of the waves and the foam that furiously hits the wooden hull, transmits a palpable sensation of tension and fragility. The broken mast of the vessel emphasizes the vulnerability of the boat, while the two fishermen appear diminutive in the face of the imposing force of nature. The work captures the indomitable power of the sea.
