A dramatic scene depicts a figure in Victorian-era dress standing on stone steps by a turbulent sea. The figure wears a flowing beige dress with intricate details, and a small black hat, their form silhouetted against a stormy blue-gray sky. Ocean waves crash dramatically against the steps, creating white spray that seems to chase the figure upward. The composition is divided by strong vertical elements suggesting pillars or posts in deep navy blue. Pink flowers dot the lower left corner, providing a delicate contrast to the powerful ocean waves. The artwork employs a limited color palette of blues, beiges, and blacks, with careful attention to the movement of fabric and water. The overall effect is both romantic and slightly ominous, capturing the dynamic relationship between the human figure and the untamed sea.
