content: Seascape and atmosphere sketch showing a view of an immense, billowing cloud in the distance over a flat and dark purple sea. Situated at center, the cloud is touched on its left with the golden-pink light of the setting or rising sun. Other wispy clouds are rendered in shades of red and purple, as the sky is, otherwise, a dark shade of blue.
