A dark-skinned right hand, positioned centrally, holds a sword vertically by its hilt, with the broad, dark-colored blade extending upwards. The sword's hilt is ornate, featuring stylized animal heads on the crossguard and decorative motifs. In the lower-left foreground, a weathered, planked wooden boat hull lies on its side. The scene is an outdoor, elevated perspective overlooking a lush, densely vegetated tropical landscape in Goyave, France. The midground and background are dominated by various green trees and broad-leafed plants, interspersed with several light-roofed buildings. The blue ocean is visible on the distant horizon under a partly cloudy sky.
