The scene depicts a coastal area in Talpe, Sri Lanka, featuring traditional stilt fishing. Two adult males are prominently positioned in the shallow ocean water, each seated on a crossbar attached to a vertical wooden stilt driven into the seabed. The fisherman on the left wears a light pink t-shirt and light shorts, with a dark bucket hanging from his stilt; he holds a fishing rod extending into the water. The fisherman on the right wears a dark hat and dark clothing, with a yellow item secured to his stilt; he also holds a fishing rod. In the background, to the left, a dark rocky outcrop extends into the ocean, with waves crashing against it. At least two individuals are standing on these rocks, one in a dark shirt on a higher rock looking towards the sea, and another partially visible further left. A third, distant figure is silhouetted on the highest rock. The ocean extends to the horizon under an overcast sky, showing moderate wave activity and white foam near the rocks. Additional bare wooden poles are visible in the water, suggesting more stilt structures.
