The image is a coastal scene from a side viewpoint. A young boy sits on an overturned boat, looking out to sea. Several sailboats are visible on the horizon. A woman holding a child stands to the right near barrels and a fishing net. The sky above has detailed clouds, and the monochromatic color palette emphasizes texture and shading. The rocky shoreline and seaweed complete the scene.
