The painting shows a woman emerging from the sea, surrounded by froth and waves. She's depicted in a classical style, with flowing hair and a serene expression. The colors are muted, with shades of blue and green dominating the palette. In the background, there are hints of a rocky coastline, but the focus is clearly on the woman. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured feel.
