The image captures a coastal scene at Forte de Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, viewed from the water toward the land under a clear, bright blue sky. The foreground shows teal-colored ocean water with light-colored rocks emerging at the base of a substantial stone retaining wall constructed from large, rough-hewn blocks. Above this wall, a paved promenade or terrace features an outdoor dining area, indicated by numerous tables and chairs, many of which are covered by red or dark-colored umbrellas. Behind the dining area, several white-walled buildings with red tile roofs are visible. To the left, a portion of a white building or structure is partially obscured by dense green foliage. In the center, a two-story white building with a red tile roof and multiple windows stands. Further right, a larger, multi-story white building with a red tile roof is partially visible. Green trees are interspersed throughout the scene, providing shade and partially obscuring structures. A tall flagpole, positioned centrally above the buildings and trees, prominently displays a large Brazilian flag (green, yellow, blue, white) unfurled by the wind. A few individuals are faintly discernible seated at tables on the terrace.
