The image shows a solitary figure leaning against a small rowboat on a pebbly shore. The horizon is in the upper third of the image, separating the water from the sky. Faint outlines of distant land and a sailboat are visible along the horizon. The painting uses delicate brushstrokes in shades of brown, grey, and white to accentuate textures and details in the scene. The overall style evokes simplicity and calmness, with tranquil water stretching into the distance.
