A horizontally oriented oil painting depicts eight figures with light skin tones on a beach. To our left, two figures stand facing right; one wears a long orange robe billowing over their head. To our right, three figures wear flowing robes of white, yellow, and pink. Three smaller figures sit on the sand at the far left. Broad brushstrokes define the figures against a muted, hazy expanse of sea and sky.
