A rural landscape with a broad river in the foreground and middle-right, a grassy river bank in middle distance to the left, with a tall stone obelisk just off-centre, and a windmill and some grazing cattle at a further distance to the left. Two figures in a rowing boat are in the bottom left corner, leaning over and skimming the water with a net. There is a second boat behind them to the right, containing a seated man and standing woman. At the edge of the river bank in the middle distance to the right, behind a clump of grasses, three figures are hoisting the sails of a small sailing boat. Several boats are scattered on the water in the distance, with houses on the distant bank to the right. There are two pairs of birds in the sky.
