On the left a large stone bridge with two arches leads to a town in the distance. A man on the left whips a horse to make it enter the water. To the right of him a groom, with a boy behind him, rides a white horse out of the water. Farther right another rider lets his horse stand and drink ; it is seen from the back. Near these are two bathers and two men undressing. Farther in the river are two restive horses near a boat. On the opposite bank are washerwomen. To the left, through the front arch of the bridge, is seen a harvest waggon, which is being loaded. "Painted in the artist's second manner" (Sm.).

In the collection of the Earl of Ashburnham, Battle, 1842 (Sm.). Sir Thomas Baring gave it in exchange for an Italian picture to the dealer Buchanan, who sold it to Sm. in 1843 ; afterwards it was bought by Pennell (300) according to Sm.'s MS. note in his own copy of the catalogue. But this statement does not tally with the alleged fact that Lord Ashburnham owned the picture in 1842 and in 1850. Sales. Earl of Ashburnham, London, July 20, 1850 and 1860.
