The image displays an adult male and a dog on a sandy beach in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal. The location is identifiable by a large, dark, angular concrete block breakwater structure visible in the upper left background, consistent with the Douro River mouth area. The male subject, wearing a dark shirt and dark shorts, has a white towel draped over his shoulders. He stands barefoot on the light-colored sand, holding dark flip-flops in his left hand, with his gaze directed downwards. A tricolor Beagle dog is positioned to his right, connected by a blue leash held by the man, and is actively sniffing the sand. The foreground consists of wet and dry sand marked by numerous footprints. In the midground, turquoise-green ocean water with white breaking waves extends. A distant lighter sandbank or coastline is visible on the horizon to the right of the breakwater. The sky is clear.
