A landscape scene with a river. In the foreground is the near bank; in the centre-middle ground is a river, with a man in a rowing boat near the bank. The sunlight on the water makes the surface of the river golden. On the left side of the picture, on the bank, is a wooded area with fields and trees. There are hills in the distance. On the right is an indistinct mass – either wooded hillside, or cloud – as the picture is in poor condition.
