A white life preserver ring, containing coiled yellow rope, is mounted on a small white stand within an arched recess of a textured light beige stucco wall. This architectural feature is flanked by two prominent fluted white columns with ornate bases. The floor consists of light-colored square tiles interspersed with darker, possibly black marble, geometric patterns. In the background to the left, a light-colored building with a dark enclosed balcony and green foliage is visible under a clear blue sky, along with a white balustrade. To the right, additional architectural elements and palm trees are visible against the sky. A small, dark, airborne object is present in the upper left sky. No people are depicted. The scene is brightly lit by natural sunlight and is located on the grounds of Hearst Castle, in San Simeon, California, United States.
