The scene is set on the waterfront promenade of the Thermaic Gulf in Thessaloniki Municipal Unit, Greece, under clear, bright daylight. The primary subject is a static, headless mannequin or figure, dressed in a white maritime or naval officer's uniform, seated on a silver-colored metallic stool. The uniform comprises a white long-sleeved jacket with black trim, gold fringed epaulets, and a visible light blue shirt collar underneath. White gloves are present on the mannequin's clasped hands, and it wears white trousers and white lace-up shoes. A white officer's cap with a dark brim and insignia is perched on a slender dark pole extending from the mannequin's neck area, serving as a surrogate head. On the textured, light-grey concrete ground directly in front of the mannequin's feet, there is a small, cylindrical orange can with a multi-colored label. Beyond the concrete edge, the dark blue-green waters of the Thermaic Gulf are visible, exhibiting surface ripples from wind. Several large cargo vessels or ships are present on the water in the distant background, scattered along the horizon line. The sky above is uniformly clear and light blue.
