The image displays a coastal landscape seen from a slightly elevated point. The horizon, positioned above the center, shows a distant shoreline and rolling hills. Buildings and a possible castle are visible on the horizon. In the foreground, grassy dunes are observed with two figures walking along a path. Additional individuals are near the water's edge. The etching techniques used by the artist depict details such as grass texture and clouds. The color palette is monochromatic, mainly black and white. The scene conveys a tranquil coastal setting with a blend of natural elements and human activity.
