The image features a seaside landscape with a horizon about a third from the bottom, showing water meeting a distant shoreline with hills and faint structures. The watercolor painting uses loose brushstrokes for a soft effect. The water shows shades of blue with white highlights for sunlight reflection. The land exhibits pink, purple, and sand tones against a pale sky with beige tones dominating the upper portion of the artwork.
