This is a rustic scene of a cottage, set amongst trees to the right, on the edge of wild common. A woman, with a baby in her arms, stands at the door of the cottage, at the top of a short set of steps. She looks out at two females who approach the dwelling, the first leading a pony, on which the second is seated. The first visitor wears a dark overcoat and hat, and carries a basket on her arm. The visitor on horseback wears a white bonnet, and leans forward as if to dismount. A pot and plate stand on a small table against the front of the cottage. Several barrels lie on the floor in the foreground, on the left. A fence extends from the cottage wall, half enclosing the front yard.
