Wooden shutters on either side frame an open window onto a calm Mediterranean sea, where a lone sailboat drifts in the middle ground and a village sits against distant mountains. A fruiting lemon branch hangs from the top right and a single lemon rests on the sill, layering the view with depth.

Warm late-afternoon sunlight throws soft shadows from the shutters across the sill and sets the water shimmering with broken-stroke highlights. Thick, tactile impasto on the lemons, foliage and waves catches the light, lending the scene a tranquil, sun-drenched and nostalgic feel.
