The scene depicts a sunset over a body of water, possibly a marsh or estuary. The sky is a gradient of orange and red, with some wispy clouds. The sun is positioned low on the horizon, partially obscured by silhouetted trees and a building. In the foreground, there is a wide expanse of wet, muddy ground with some visible channels and patterns. A few small birds are visible foraging in the water. On the left side of the frame, a silhouette of a windmill can be seen in the distance.
