The painting depicts a serene coastal scene at Antibes, France. The fortifications of the town are prominent in the middle ground, with a cluster of buildings nestled behind them. The turquoise waters of the Mediterranean lap gently at the rocky shore in the foreground. Several small boats are pulled up on the beach, and a few figures can be seen near a small building on the left. The sky is a pale blue with a few wispy clouds, and the overall impression is one of peace and tranquility.
