In the foreground, a yellow diving board slants away from lower right corner, leading the viewer's gaze towards the centre of a large swimming pool, where water fountains into the air, capturing the moment right after someone has dived in. A shadow under the chair suggests that the sun is high in the sky, around noon. In the background, two palm trees loom over a large single-story house, with flat roof and large sliding glass doors, in front of which an empty director's chair with thin crossed legs stands on a wide pink patio. A Bigger Splash shows a typical California day – warm and sunny, with a cloudless blue sky.
