To the left of the painting five grass-covered rocky cliffs jut out into the dark blue ocean bay below. On the farthest point in the distance stands a white lighthouse with a red roof. The ocean waves crash white against the rocky cliffs. Purple heather grows in the foreground on the left. And on the right foreground is a small beach; a young boy stands fishing on the beach, facing to our left. Beyond him on the right of the painting is another cliff, and above him in the center of the painting are two seagulls in flight. One is closer to us and more distinct. The other is father away, flying over the ocean.

Flowers of blue, orange, pink, purple, red, yellow, and white decorate the yard in front of the cottage. Grazing in the right corner of the painting are a brown pony and her gray foal not far from two red chickens. And on the path ahead of the young girl are a gray cat, a black and white puppy, and a brown squirrel.
