The painting depicts a serene scene of a riverbank, with palm trees, a house, and two boats, showcasing Andersen's signature style of soft, muted tones and atmospheric brushstrokes. The painting's name, "Rocio," which means "dew" in Spanish, evokes a sense of tranquility and the freshness of the morning.
