The scene depicts a daytime coastal environment, specifically Boa Viagem Beach in Recife, Brazil. The upper frame is dominated by a clear blue sky containing numerous large, white cumulus clouds. The mid-ground features a greenish-brown ocean with visible white-capped waves breaking closer to the shore, transitioning to a darker blue-green band near the distant horizon. A dark rock barrier forms the immediate boundary between the water and the land. Six to seven individuals are present in the ocean, wading or standing in varying depths from waist to chest level. In the foreground, two rectangular, light gray concrete benches are positioned parallel to the shoreline, resting on a patterned brick or paver walkway, characteristic of a public promenade. The lighting suggests a clear and sunny day.
