The cloaks have visible folds and shading lines, and the figures stand on a stone surface with part of a masonry wall beside them. Beyond them a calm sea stretches to distant, low-lined islands and rocky outcrops, with a small sailing boat on the water and a few birds in flight. In the foreground rocky terrain, tufts of vegetation, and stacked stones appear near the edge of the cliff, and a cross stands atop a distant rocky promontory. The scene is rendered in fine pen lines on a light background.
