A sailboat with detailed sails and a simple hull, drawn in black ink, gliding over stylized waves. The waves are filled with intricate patterns in shades of blue, green, and white, suggesting a mosaic-like texture. The background is mostly blank, highlighting the boat and the patterned section as the main focus. The piece is bordered by a black frame, adding contrast to the scene.
