The image depicts a coastal scene in Manarola, Italy, looking eastward along the Ligurian coastline under a clear blue sky with sparse, wispy clouds. A steep, densely vegetated mountain forms the backdrop, rising from the sea on the left and extending into the mid-distance. Scattered white buildings and terraced cultivation are visible on the upper slopes of the mountain. In the foreground and midground, prominent stratified rock formations constitute the rugged coastline. These cliffs are composed of grey and beige sedimentary layers, showing vertical and angular fracturing. A narrow coastal path, featuring a light-colored barrier in the foreground and a wooden fence further along, is carved into the cliff face on the left. The deep blue-green waters of the Ligurian Sea extend from the shoreline to the horizon on the right. White foam and waves are visible where the water meets the rocky shore. In the mid-distance, small man-made rock breakwaters or jetties extend into the sea from the base of the cliffs. No individuals or overt human activity are depicted within the frame. The scene is illuminated by direct sunlight, casting distinct shadows on the cliff faces.
