The image is a painting of a man in a small wooden boat on a stormy sea. The man is sitting in the front of the boat, holding a wooden oar and appears to be rowing. He is wearing a black hat and a long coat, and is holding a fishing net in his hands. The boat is filled with various items, including a large fish, a bucket, and other fishing equipment. The water is choppy and turbulent, with large waves crashing around the boat. In the background, there is a small sailboat visible in the distance. The sky is dark and cloudy, and the overall mood of the painting is somber and desolate.
