The image shows a coastal scene with two figures on horseback riding along the beach. In the background, there is a castle or fortress on the horizon. The shoreline runs diagonally from rocky cliffs on the left to the water on the right. The sea is calm with gentle waves breaking on the sand. The sky above is filled with wispy clouds. The painting has a soft and light color palette, including sandy browns, muted purples, soft blues, deep greens, and whites.
