On a sunny day, a child wearing a dark baseball cap and blue patterned swimming trunks is squatting at the edge of a lake and playing with a green object in the wet sand. The water is calm and a ship or barge is visible on the horizon. The foreground consists of a sandy beach, with visible footprints and clumps of wet sand. A pair of bare feet is visible at the bottom of the frame, suggesting the perspective is from someone lying down on the beach.
