A dramatic Art Deco-style illustration depicts a figure in flowing cream-colored robes standing amid turbulent ocean waves. The composition is divided between dark architectural columns on the left and a stormy seascape on the right. The figure's dress billows dramatically in the wind, decorated with floral patterns, while they appear to be pulling or controlling ropes that extend across the waves. The color palette contrasts deep navy blues of the sea with warm cream tones in the clothing and architectural elements. Stylized white foam caps curl through the scene, creating a sense of movement and danger. The overall effect suggests both the power of nature and human determination in facing it, perfectly embodying the title's theme of a relationship between woman and sea.
