2 small male figures, a cart, 2 oxen, and a long-legged bird stand in the left foreground, before a vast coastal scene with a low white building with a brown roof to the left, and dense vegetation and an arched bridge leading off to the right. Tall palm trees pepper the scene. In the distance a domed building on the shore and a ship on the water.
