The image shows a riverscape view from the water's edge. The perspective is as if one is standing beside a calm river, looking across to the opposite bank. The horizon is slightly below the center, with trees and a house with chimneys visible in the distance. The brushstrokes are loose and sketch-like, with a delicate use of ink depicting leaves and ripples on the water. The color palette consists of shades of gray and muted brown. On the right, there is a small boathouse and a rowboat on the water. Trees frame the view on either side.
