The artwork depicts a solitary figure standing at the edge of a body of water, framed by dark, rugged stone structures on either side. The sky is dramatic, with swirling clouds illuminated by patches of bright light, suggesting either sunrise or sunset. The light reflects off the water, creating a shimmering effect that contrasts with the shadowy foreground. A set of stone steps leads up from the water's edge on the left side, enhancing the sense of depth and perspective. The overall mood is contemplative and atmospheric, emphasizing the interplay of light and shadow.
