The scene depicts a coastal environment in Anzio, Italy, under an overcast sky with stratified grey clouds. The calm, grey-blue sea occupies the mid-ground, exhibiting minor surface texture from small waves. In the foreground, the edge of a sandy beach is visible with a subtle breaking wave. A lone male figure is positioned in silhouette on a dark, irregular rock formation extending into the water from the right side of the frame. He holds a long fishing rod, angled upwards and leftward. A dark bucket or container is situated on the rocks near his feet. In the distant mid-ground, a small, dark watercraft is visible on the sea surface towards the left. The overall lighting is muted, contributing to the silhouetted appearance of the human figure and the subdued tones of the water and sky.
