Seasape with two bearded fishermen in rowing boat upon a choppy sea. One man holds onto the boat's oars and tries to control the small fishing vessel as it rises upon a high wave, the other holds a hooked rod in his right hand and pulls a crab out of a crabbing pot. In the background, two more fishermen can be seen in a rowing boat, and in the distance, sailing boats flight against the choppy sea. The sky above is grey and cloud covered.
