Scattered buildings sit beside two stretches of water in the background; the one on the right is a watermill. People are boating, while others walk and ride along the roads on either side of the water. In the far distance on the right we can see the spire of a church.
We don‘t know who the artist or the patron was. Augustinian canonesses, or ’White Ladies', had many houses in Brabant and Flanders. Nothing is known of this panel’s history before its presence in the London collection of the MP and silk merchant Wynn Ellis (1790–1875).
