Aivazovsky reaches in this painting an absolute technical perfection, painting a group of unlucky castaways trying to survive. The centre of the composition is the powerful, almost mystical and diffuse representation of the sun, which illuminates the scene with a strange, oneiric range of green and pink shades.
