A bald man with a furrowed brow holds an open book to the viewer. The book's pages open to an illustration of a distressed animal.

In dark turbulent waters under a stormy sky four nude sea nymphs support the body of a long-haired man between them on a white shroud. The face of a man with kelp in his hair appears between two of the nymphs.
