The scene depicts a ground-level view of a post-fishing operation on a damp, light-brown sandy beach in Betalbatim, India. Three individuals, barefoot and wearing shorts, are partially visible from the waist down in the upper half of the image, appearing to oversee or participate in sorting the catch. In the background, a dark fishing net lies spread across the sand, alongside several scattered, translucent, disc-shaped marine organisms resembling jellyfish. The foreground and midground contain multiple woven bamboo or wicker baskets, approximately eight in total, primarily filled with various types of freshly caught marine life. On the lower left, a cluster of small, silver-hued fish rests directly on the sand. Adjacent to this, a basket contains numerous small, silver-bodied fish. Above it, another basket holds a similar quantity and type of small, silver fish. In the lower-center, a basket is filled with larger, silver and yellowish-tinged fish, possibly mackerel or scad. To its right, another basket contains multiple elongated, reddish-brown marine cephalopods, consistent with squid or small cuttlefish. Additional empty or partially filled baskets are positioned throughout the scene, indicating an ongoing collection or sorting process. A single, small, silver fish lies detached on the sand in the mid-right.
