A light-coloured, simple painting depicting a group of children and toddlers playing in a park on a summer's evening. In the foreground to the left a girl stands carrying a toddler in her arms, surrounded by younger children, some barefoot after paddling in the river behind them. More children are in the background to right, two of them pushing prams. There is dense woodland in the background to the left, on the opposite bank of the river.
