Description de l’image
The image shows a ship surrounded by tall waves under stormy skies. The ship is tilted and sails through rough waters with angled masts and sails. An American flag flies in the wind. The artwork uses fine lines and shading to depict the turbulent sea. The color scheme is mainly greys, blues, and whites, with a pop of red and blue from the flag.
