The image depicts a beach scene from a bird's-eye view. Various figures are illustrated with simple, abstract brushstrokes on a sandy beach. Some beachgoers are shown lounging on mats, some under a yellow umbrella. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving an impressionistic feel. In the background, the horizon shows where the sea meets the sky. The sea is depicted in blue and green hues, contrasting with the pink and orange sand. A sailboat is drawn on the water near the horizon. The color palette is marked by soft pastel tones, creating a serene atmosphere.
