The image shows a body of water on a clear day. There is a flat, stone platform with two sculptural figures. One figure is headless and armless, while the other holds an indistinct object. In the distance, the water extends to a faint horizon line with trees or low foliage. The sky and its reflection on the water dominate the visual space. The photo is monochromatic, with a range of grey tones.
