A Dutch ship foundering off a rocky coast
A rocky coast with low vegetation dominates the right side of the painting. On the far right they form a pinnacle cut off by the picture's edge. On the left, a large ship flying the Dutch flag, is foundering and heading for certain shipwreck on the rocks. The main and mizzenmasts have already gone overboard and the rigging is out of control, which the artist has carefully detailed. Another ship is shown in the distance already wrecked on the coast.
