The image presents a coastal scene in Monterosso al Mare, Italy, viewed during a low-light period, indicative of either sunrise or sunset. The sky displays a gradient, transitioning from light blue in the upper portion to warm orange and pink hues near the horizon. The Ligurian Sea occupies the central and right, appearing calm with a silvery-grey surface reflecting the sky, and gentle wave activity on a pebbled beach. In the mid-ground, a paved promenade runs parallel to the coastline. It is separated from the beach by a black metal railing and features several black bollards. A white circular sign with a red border and a diagonal line is mounted on a pole on the promenade. Approximately ten individuals are present: several are walking along the promenade, one person is notably dressed in a red garment and carrying a bag. Other individuals are visible walking on the pebbled beach closer to the water's edge. To the left, steep, heavily vegetated mountains rise abruptly from the sea. Terraced cultivation is visible on the lower slopes, along with several stone buildings. A prominent historic tower-like structure is situated on a rocky outcropping extending into the sea, immediately adjacent to the beach. A short, rocky breakwater juts into the water beyond this outcrop. The mountainous coastline extends into the distance towards the right, appearing increasingly softened by atmospheric perspective. Sparse, bare-branched vegetation partially obscures the lower right foreground.
