A woman is seated on a yacht with an arrangement of fruit, vegetables and other objects in the foreground. In the background, there are glimmers of sunset visible in the sky. Some of these colors can be seen in the cushion on the right hand side of the painting. The awning on the upper, left hand side, gives the picture an asymmetrical appearance. In spite of the unstable nature of being in a sailing vessel, a tranquil atmosphere pervades the painting.
