A horizontally oriented oil painting with textured brushwork depicts a pale beige, rocky coast meeting dark water on the right. In the foreground, a small figure in a white head covering sits among dark rocks. A dense line of dark trees spans the middle ground beneath a bright blue sky streaked with white clouds. Thick, visible strokes define the sandy terrain. A faint signature sits in the bottom right corner.
