The scene depicts a sunset over the Pacific Ocean near Ancón, Peru. The horizon line separates a sky that transitions from light blue-grey overhead to a vibrant orange and yellow at the sun's position. The sun, a brilliant yellow orb, is located on the horizon slightly right of the frame's center, casting a shimmering golden reflection path across the undulating water towards the foreground. Two dark, low-lying landmasses are visible on the horizon to the left of the sun. A small, dark, triangular silhouette, consistent with a sailboat, is present on the horizon to the right of the sun. In the lower right foreground, a male subject, visible from the chest up, is seated in a white inflatable boat. He has dark hair, wears a white t-shirt, and is turned to his left, observing the sunset. His right arm rests on the boat's edge.
