The image depicts a narrow waterway in Croix, France, with a single white swan resting on a small, exposed mound of dark gray and brown gravel near the center-right. The swan is curled, with its head tucked back into its body. The water, which occupies the majority of the frame, is a dull, turbid gray, reflecting the overcast sky and the vegetation on the banks. Both banks of the waterway are lined with dense, leafy vegetation, predominantly green with some autumnal brown tones. Small pieces of debris and leaves are visible floating on the water's surface. No human subjects or man-made structures are evident within the visible portion of the scene.
