This is a landscape scene viewed from the bank of a river, looking towards a water mill on the far bank, which is lined with trees. Standing to the left on the near shore of the river, which flows across the lower third of the composition, is a fisherman leaning his fishing-rod against his right shoulder and supported in the crook of his arm; he wears a knee-length coat and a wide-brimmed hat; his equipment is piled on the ground to his right. On the river is a group of ducks and a hen accompanying her young. The mill has a complex construction of roofs, few windows and a smoking chimney; the river forks at the mill, and is presumably channelled to pass the wheel and through a sluice; built around the wheel, on the bank of land created by the fork in the river, is a plank construction behind which stands a second figure.
