The image depicts three individuals in the water at different depths. The person on the left is seated, showing only their shoulders and above, with arms resting on a ledge and wearing a knit cap. The middle person stands waist-deep, holding floatation devices under each arm, wearing a checkered dress and headscarf. The person on the right also stands waist-deep, with arms resting inside a large inflated ring around their midsection, short hair hidden under a cap. In the background, there is a tall wall with engraved patterns, and the water ripples around the individuals.
