In the foreground, there's a body of water with a boat; two figures are visible on the boat, one appears to be leading a horse by its reins while the other rows. To the right of the scene, there's a watermill with a large, prominently displayed water wheel connected to a two-story building with a pitched roof. The environment includes several trees, and some are quite detailed, suggesting a calm and wooded area. In the background, hills or low mountains can be seen, with some structures nestled within the trees.

The image is an intricate black and white etching, portraying a serene rural landscape. Central to the image is a large watermill with a prominent waterwheel, positioned on the edge of a calm, reflective river. The mill is constructed from wood and is detailed with a textured, rustic appearance.

To the right of the watermill, there is a small house also made of wood, partially obscured by tall trees which add depth and natural elements to the setting. A wooden jetty extends from the watermill into the river, enhancing the scene with a quaint, old-world charm.

On the river, to the left of the watermill, a boat carrying three figures and a horse is in motion. One person appears to be navigating the boat with a pole, while the others are standing or sitting, possibly engaging in conversation or preparing for an action involving the horse.

In the background, the landscape rolls into distant hills, partially covered with trees, which create a sense of depth and expansiveness. Visible on the left side of the image, there are the ruins of an old stone structure, perhaps a castle, adding historical intrigue to the scene.

Above, the sky is filled with soft, scattered clouds that enhance the tranquil and pastoral ambiance of the etching. The overall composition balances both human and natural elements harmoniously, presenting a picturesque, bucolic vista.
