Description: | Impressionistic view of a river lock, with two figures on the lockside to the left and right leaning against beams to move the lock gates, wearing smart attire typical of late nineteenth century England, such as the red bonnet which is visible being worn by a lady in a scarlet red dress, to the far right of the image. A single boat is moored against the right lock wall, with a small lock-keeper's hut on the lockside to the right. There are dense trees in the background in dark green and grey muted tones, against a grey sky. The paintwork features soft, layered sections built up in an impasto style.
