Con le parole del museo — in francese
Au premier plan figure une barque conduite par un homme coiffé d'un chapeau rouge, tenant une perche plongée dans l'eau faisant sortir sa barque d'un petit lac sinueux aux eaux transparentes. A droite, un bouquet d'arbres parmi lesquels des bouleaux. A gauche, un vieux saule se détache d'un groupe d'autres arbres. Un ciel clair forme le fond du tableau.
