The painting is in the style of the Russian artist Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky.The canvas depicts a large sailboat sailing towards an island, the outlines of which are visible in the distance. The island is clearly visible against the background of the night sky and the sea, which are brightly illuminated by the light of the full moon.A small boat was moored to the side of the ship on the right side. Local merchants swam up to the ship to offer the sailors their goods, food or water, or that the crew was going to get into the boat to go ashore.There is another boat in the foreground. The people sitting in it look at the ship sailing on the sea.In the background, a two-manned ship with lowered sails is anchored.On the sea surface along the coast, small sailing boats are visible, on which local fishermen went out to sea for night fishing.The painting is dominated by blue and light blue shades. The author solved the pictorial task with the help of contrast, which gives the work a bright yellow moonlight, flooding the sea and sky with its radiance.The moonlight path, trembling on a small ripple of the sea, gives the image volume and perspective. Light clouds floating across the night sky frame a calm .The artist assigns the main role to the sailboat sailing to the island in the painting. A red light is visible inside the ship, which contrasts with the bright moonlight.The work is painted in oil on canvas
