The scene depicts a sunset at Langelinie pier in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Little Mermaid statue, a dark bronze figure, is centrally positioned on a cluster of rocks in the calm, dark blue water. Approximately fifteen individuals are gathered on the dark, rocky shoreline in the foreground, observing either the statue or the setting sun. Most individuals are silhouetted against the bright light. One person in the far-left foreground is holding a device, likely a camera or phone, pointed towards the statue. Another person in a green jacket stands closer to the water near the statue. The sun is low on the horizon over the water on the right, casting a strong golden reflection across the water's surface. The background across the water reveals an industrial cityscape with various buildings, smokestacks emitting white plumes, and other port facilities. The sky above is clear, transitioning from deep blue to a brighter, warm tone near the horizon.
