A solitary rower in a red sweater and yellow trousers pulls hard on the oars of a small white boat, a fishing line trailing from its stern; two gulls rest on the water at lower left and a third banks past at right, the boat set adrift in an unbroken field of blue with no horizon or shoreline in sight.

The sea is painted as a single saturated ultramarine surface worked with pale sweeping streaks that suggest wind and current rather than literal waves; the flattened, patterned water and the one sharply lit figure lend the scene a stylized, weightless quality, more dreamlike vision than observed seascape.
