The scene is a peaceful view of a calm body of water, possibly a lake or a sea, with a pale sunset in the background. The sky is a gradient of light blue to orange. In the center of the frame, a boat moves away from the viewer towards the horizon, leaving a trail in the water. A flock of birds flies around the boat and over the water, some landing momentarily. The water's surface is relatively smooth, reflecting the colors of the sky. In the far distance, a strip of land is visible, marking the horizon line. The overall atmosphere is tranquil and serene.
