A scene depicting the imminent departure of a young woman from her home. She stands in the lane in front of her house, gazing to the left in anticipation of the appearance of the coach, with her belongings – including a travelling chest, umbrella and a basket of flowers – on the ground beside her. Standing in the garden gateway to her right is a grey-haired gentleman, consulting his pocket watch. Behind him, on the flagstone garden path, is a woman with an arm round the shoulders of a young boy who she bends forward to speak to; he stands with his hands in his pockets. Extending across the background of the composition is the foliage-covered facade of the house with its front door open to reveal a shadowy interior.
