The river is in the foreground of the image, on it there are people rowing on boats. On the shore, there is a white, two-story house with a small yard enclosed by a white fence. Next to the house, there is a long, L-shaped white building. A horse drawn carriage travels along the shoreline, and large hills with trees in autumn colors make up the background.Inscription:
