Description: | View of a rural landscape with a broad river and a wooded shore with cottages. On the far left, a horse and carriage makes its way along the shore towards moored sailing boats at the water's edge; cargo being unloaded by groups of men. In the central foreground, a man rows two figures out across the river. A large tree grows out from the river bank on the left, its branches bare amongst dense green trees. Moorhens surround the vessels, and in the distance more sailing boats are visible beneath a a cloud covered sky.
