The image depicts a nude woman standing on a rocky shoreline. The woman has short, curly hair and her body faces slightly right. She stands on a rocky outcropping with her left leg slightly forward. The shoreline and water are to her right. A dark area resembling a cave or overhang is behind her on the left. The background shows a body of water and possibly land on the horizon. The entire image is rendered in dark and light shades of brown. The artwork is signed in the lower right corner. The title of the piece is "Precipice" and it is by Anders Zorn. The image is rectangular with a light-colored border around it.
