Description

A large, craggy rock stands at the water's edge, its rough, weathered surface broken into ledges and fissures with a small dark object on its summit. Low, scrubby hills run along the coast on both sides, and the foreground is rippled sea under a pale, overcast sky. The view is taken from a boat, looking towards the shore.
