Bare, leafless trees with thin, twisting branches rise from the right bank, their silhouettes contrasting against a sky filled with fine, crosshatched cloud lines. Small boats float on the water, one closer to the foreground and one further away, and reeds or grasses edge the banks. The overall image is rendered in delicate, sketchlike lines on a pale, slightly mottled background.
