Rural landscape with a broad river in the foreground, extending across the bottom of the picture plane. Two rowing boats each with four people in are mooring alongside the river bank. A group of peasant figures are gathered outside a thatched cottage on the far right, some sitting and conversing, some standing. A cylindrical tower stands tall amongst trees in the background, the ridge covered in vegetation. There is a grassy bank in the bottom left-hand corner, with riverside cottages and a boat containing more people in the distance to the left.
