The painting depicts a serene body of water, likely a river or bay in Saint Petersburg, Russia, during twilight. Two small, light-colored boats are gently floating on the dark, rippling water. In the background, a subtle, dusky sky transitions from a pale pinkish hue to a deep purple at the top. Along the horizon, a line of yellow and gray shapes suggests distant land or structures, possibly illuminated by the fading light. The foreground is a greenish-brown expanse, hinting at shallow water or a muddy bank, with streaks of white paint suggesting foam or reflections. The brushwork is loose and impressionistic, giving the scene a dreamlike quality. There are no people visible in the painting, focusing solely on the natural landscape and the solitary boats.
