The image shows a coastal scene with cliffs, ocean, and a sky with a horizon at the top third. The brushstrokes are detailed with a stippled texture. The color palette includes pastel shades of blue and pink for the sky and water, and earthy tones of beige and brown for the cliffs. Close to us are rocky formations and grassy patches with dark outlines, while distant trees are seen as dark silhouettes. Birds are flying in the sky.
