The painting's palette characterises that of a fauvist painting. It depicts a nightime scene evoked by the moon reflected in the water. It features two nude figures - one, a woman bobbing in the water looking at the other, a man stood on the embankment with his back to the viewer. The silhouette of a tree in the foreground leads your eye up to boats sitting still in the water and a building which resembles a large boathouse.

"The figures in this landscape are still, suspended in silent collusion - one reflected in water, the other anchored on land. Separate yet bound, like a woman gazing from a window at the distant moon. This piece grounds itself in our modern paradox - It is a painting about the slow forgetting of living above nature rather than within it, and the fragile hope we might still find our way back."
