Five cows and three sheep are grazing by the riverside. A peasant stands near, watching a woman who milks a cow. In the left foreground are two swans. On the right is a man in a light- red jacket. The immediate foreground is in shadow to contrast with the yellowish tone of the rest. There are clouds in the sky. In the background are trees, dispersed irregularly across the picture. The treatment of these is characteristic of Cuyp's early period. This picture recalls very closely the large picture belonging to the Earl of Ilchester (699).
