A group of four people are having a siesta on the beach: one of the figures is seated, resting his back against a boat, the other three are lying down. The seashore can be seen on the left of the painting, a steep grassy cliff to the right, which develops into the ruins of a classical building in the background. There is a rich blue sky above.
