A pirate stands on a seaside strewn with debris; behind him lie two submerged ships, while ominously above him hovers a spectral figure against a stormy sky.
The image depicts a dramatic seascape scene. In the foreground, there's a pirate, with a long beard and wearing a tricorn hat, looking out at the turbulent sea. He stands on a beach littered with driftwood and skeletal remains. Behind him, there are two sunken ships, with their masts and sails still visible amidst the waves. Above the pirate, there's a ghostly apparition of a skeletal figure draped in a shroud, with a skull face, looming over the horizon. The sky is stormy with dark clouds, suggesting an impending storm or the aftermath of one.
