The image shows a ground-level view sketch of a path leading towards the sea. A faint outline of distant land is visible at the water's edge. The sky has sparse marks of clouds or mist and a crescent moon is visible. It is drawn with soft charcoal strokes creating depth through light and shadow. Several figures are on the path or near a rounded building obscured by trees. The color palette is monochrome, mostly gray and black.
