Brief Description
Large waves crash against a rocky island with distant mountains and trees
Detailed Description
A monochromatic seascape depicts large waves and a central rock formation. In the middle ground, a prominent, dark, jagged rock rises from the water, its surface textured with lighter and darker tones. Powerful waves, rendered with swirling lines and foam-like patterns, crash against this rock, rising high above it, showing intense motion. Small clusters of dark, stylized vegetation are visible on the rock's edges. To the left, several large, rolling waves extend towards a distant, low-lying coastline. This coastline features a series of undulating hills or mountains, with a few sparse, stylized trees scattered along its edge. To the right of the central rock, more land is visible, characterized by a gentle slope covered with numerous small, stylized trees, resembling pine trees. The water in the foreground on the right also shows rolling waves. The sky above is clear and unadorned. In the upper left corner, a vertical column of text is present. In the lower right corner, there is a square seal impression below a short column of vertical text.
