The image is a pencil sketch of a beach scene. The horizon is slightly above the center, with a strip of land meeting the sea. Some boats are visible on the water. The sketchy pencil lines depict various textures like the sea and trees. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of gray on cream-colored paper. A tree on the left is drawn with light strokes. A figure and a dog walk along the shoreline, with rocks and wood on the beach. Trees and rocks in the distance are depicted with similar light strokes.
