The painting depicts a woman in a long dress standing on a rocky ocean shore. The sea is rough, with high waves, and a sailing ship can be seen on the horizon fighting the storm. The woman's hair is scattered by the wind and she seems to be gazing into the distance. The scene evokes a sense of loneliness and anticipation.

John William Waterhouse (1849-1917). English painter known for his paintings of female figures from classical mythology. Among his most famous paintings is Ophelia shortly before her death braiding flowers in her hair (although the painting is from 1888, it was lost for a long time until found again). Waterhouse had planned to paint a whole series of paintings with the motif of Ophelia, but serious illness - cancer - did not allow him to finish his work. His canvas motif, The Temptation of Miranda, is also worth mentioning. A classical motif is also his Narcis, viewing his reflection in the water.
