The scene is a coastal area on a cloudy day, with a rock formation in the foreground. Waves are crashing against the base of the rock, which has a reddish-brown top layer and a lighter, stratified lower section. On top of the rock, four birds with dark plumage are visible. In the background, a shoreline with green vegetation can be seen across the water. The sea is a muted blue-gray, blending into the overcast sky.
