The image shows a coastal scene with a sandy shore and the sea. A bird is in flight on the left, with its wings spread, while another bird stands on the sand. The horizon is visible with a distant strip of land, palm trees, and hills. The artwork features detailed rendering of the birds and shells on the sand, using earth tones and muted blues for the water.
