The image displays a pebbled beach in Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy, at the edge of the sea. A man-made rock breakwater, composed of large boulders, extends into the water from the left side of the frame. At the base of the breakwater on the beach, a small wooden fence with a white sign is visible. The water is a deep blue-grey, with small waves gently breaking upon the dark grey pebble shore. Two individuals are seated in folding beach chairs on the pebbles. The person on the left, appearing male with grey hair, wears a green t-shirt and blue shorts, and holds a light-colored can or bottle to his mouth. The person on the right, appearing female, wears light-colored swimwear with a light top and has her legs crossed at the ankles; a yellow bag or towel is draped over her red-framed chair. A small, dark-colored animal, consistent with a dog, stands between the two chairs, facing the water. The scene is observed from an elevated viewpoint looking down onto the beach and sea.
