A hop picking scene, looking down a steep hillside and across the valley below, which trails off into the distance. In the foreground, on the slope of the hill, men and women pick hops, overseen by a man on a black horse to the right. There is a small cottage to the left amongst the unpicked hop bushes, with a copse of shadowy trees behind it. More hop pickers are working lower down the hill, in the background to right. There is a dramatic clouded sky overhead.
