A skeleton reclines in a pink-and-white striped inflatable float, one arm draped and ankles crossed over the edge. It wears a wide-brimmed straw sun hat with a black band and a small pink fabric rose, tilted at a relaxed angle, and a small loose bouquet of red and white flowers rests against the figure.

Seen from a slightly elevated, close viewpoint, the float is angled diagonally across open water that stretches to the horizon. Warm, diffused late-afternoon light spreads a golden glow, with reflections broken into loose horizontal dabs. Heavy impasto, loaded-brush and palette-knife strokes, and the visible canvas weave in thinner passages, give this blend of seaside leisure and a lighthearted skeleton motif a playful, quirky, sun-drenched feel.
