A red wooden jetty juts into the water at the lower right, its rails and benches catching the sunlight and casting crisp shadows across the boards. Several small boats float near the jetty, their hulls painted in muted reds and greens, with figures seated inside, some rowing and others resting. The surface of the water reflects the sky and the boats, broken by quick, loose brushstrokes that suggest the gentle movement of the lake.

To the right of the jetty, a figure in white leans over the railing, while another sits on a bench, both absorbed in quiet activity. Behind the jetty, a row of white posts marks the edge of the water, separating it from a dense mass of green trees that dominate the middle ground. Two pale pavilions with domed roofs rise above the treetops, their symmetrical forms and architectural details standing out against the foliage.

A single bare tree branch stretches into the sky from the upper right, its twisting lines contrasting with the leafy canopies around it. The sky is a brilliant blue, scattered with soft, billowing clouds painted in swift, expressive strokes that echo the vitality of the scene below. Sunlight falls from the left, illuminating the tops of the trees and the jetty, while casting the water and boats into gentle shadow.

The composition is arranged to lead the gaze from the foreground’s angular jetty and boats across the shimmering water to the tranquil architecture and lush greenery beyond. Sorolla uses energetic, visible brushwork throughout, from the dappled foliage to the rippling reflections and the textured masonry at the water's edge. Touches of red, green, and ochre punctuate the scene, enlivening the naturalistic palette and drawing attention to human presence and built structures.
