A lone black-headed gull stands on the sandy shore of a body of water. The water is green and reflects the reeds that grow on the opposite bank. The sand is speckled with small pink and white pebbles. To the left of the gull, a brown, oblong object lies on the sand, possibly a piece of driftwood or a washed-up plant. The gull is facing the water, its head slightly tilted, as if observing the environment. The scene is calm and natural, suggesting a peaceful moment by the water.
