Four people are in various states of laying on the ground. They are in pairs, and one person in each pair is wearing a sailor’s outfit. Behind them, another pair is pressed up against a tree. Behind them, on the right side of the composition, a person in a sailor’s outfit sits alone on a park bench. There is a newspaper laying on the ground in front of the four people in the foreground. On the left side of the composition, a short stone wall curves around the people. In the far background, water, hills, and a sunset can be seen.
