Summertime; a family walks on the meadow beside the left bank of River Eden which flows diagonally across composition. To right of composition are two fishermen, one of whom stands whilst the other sits at the water's edge. The far riverbank is formed by a steep hill on the top of which stands a substantial house with outbuildings. At its base cattle stand in the shallows of the river.
