A sluggish stream winds from the centre distance to the foreground, where it fills the whole width of the picture. The undulating bank forms on the right a sharp corner, at which are two men, one seated and the other standing. The seated man, who wears a grey hat, buff coat, and red breeches, is fishing. Behind them is a tree with scanty foliage. Beyond this, in the right middle distance, a woman carrying a basket on her head goes away to the back. Almost in the centre foreground three ducks swim to the left. The left bank rises gradually j it is densely covered with bushes and trees, among which a silver birch is prominent. The trees are reflected in the stream. Blue sky with clouds ; sunlight. Precisely the same composition occurs in 457, but the figures are slightly different. Formerly ascribed to Hobbema.
