A tranquil seascape is depicted. The foreground is occupied by a dense collection of smooth, grey and white pebbles, characteristic of a pebble beach. Beyond the pebbles, the ocean stretches out, with a gentle wave cresting and beginning to break. The water is a muted green-grey, reflecting the overcast sky. A small, orange buoy bobs serenely on the surface of the water in the mid-ground, adding a subtle splash of color to the otherwise subdued palette. The horizon line is soft, with the sky a pale, hazy grey, suggesting an early morning or late evening setting. There are no people or animals visible in the scene. The overall impression is one of peace and quietude.
