The scene depicts a coastal view in Manarola, Italy, under clear daylight conditions. The foreground features a layered rock formation extending into the tranquil, clear blue water. Two individuals are seated on this rock closest to the water's edge; one wears a dark top and trousers, facing the water, while the other, dressed in a blue top and dark trousers, faces slightly away. A third, partially obscured individual is further back on the same rock. To the left, a concrete ledge with an orange lifebuoy attached is visible. In the midground, a small, dark-hulled boat with a white interior and a red Italian flag decal is moored in the water, tethered by ropes to the rocky shoreline. Several red spherical buoys and one yellow cylindrical buoy float in the water near the boat and further out. The background consists of a rugged, rocky coastline featuring natural rock formations and man-made steps carved directly into the stone, ascending the incline. The water exhibits a ripple pattern consistent with a light breeze.
