This is a drawing of a person fishing by the riverside with a nearby couple under trees. The scene shows a riverside with one person fishing near the shoreline. A fishing basket with a lid and a pair of shoes are placed beside them. To the left, there are two trees with another pair of individuals sitting close together, partially hidden by the tree trunks. The distant landscape shows a field with more trees under an open sky. The drawing uses bold lines and shading to convey texture and depth within the composition.
