Description: | A mountainous landscape with a lake. The foreground is dominated by large trees at the right, the top branches almost extending to the left hand edge. At the foreground left is a large boulder. A large lake fills most of the centre of the picture. A man stands on the bank holding a fishing rod, a woman is sitting on the bank removing a fish from the line. A small child stands by holding a basket. There is a steep rocky cliff at the left, mostly tree covered. Across the lake is a bridge, church and other buildings. A family of ducks swim across the centre of the lake.
The foreground is dark and along with the trees, family and boulder have been outlined in ink which has spread, the lines becoming thicker and fuzzier, in contrast with the lines in the background.
Signature 'P Sandby 1782' in ink, on a rock in the foreground, lower right.
Impression 'NCAM' in circle at brc.
