The image depicts a stone wall extending horizontally from the left. A curled dog rests in the right corner against the wall, with a vast body of water stretching to the horizon beyond. The horizon line is slightly above the center of the composition, with faint outlines of distant landforms visible against the sky, suggesting mountainous terrain. The artwork features delicate pencil or charcoal strokes, giving a soft and textured quality to the scene. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of gray to convey a serene and subdued aesthetic.
