The painting shows a large sailing ship moored in the harbour of Saint-Malo. The city's massive stone fortress rises up on the right, its walls appearing massive and forbidding. The sky is dramatic and streaked with heavy clouds, with only a few patches of bright blue breaking through. The sea appears dark, deep and slightly agitated, the reflections of the ship and the clouds are diffuse and powerful on the canvas.
The scene conveys a mixture of sublimity and melancholy. As with Gustave Courbet, the focus is on the force of nature and the massiveness of the architecture, which makes people and the ship seem almost small. It is a mood of transition: the ship could be setting off or just returning home, the sky threatens and opens up at the same time. A symbol of adventure, danger and longing for faraway places, but also of the harshness of life by the sea.
