On the left a large stone bridge with two arches leads to a town in the distance. A man on the left whips a horse to make it enter the water. To the right of him a groom, with a boy behind him, rides a white horse out of the water. Farther right another rider lets his horse stand and drink ; it is seen from the back. Near these are two bathers and two men undressing. Farther in the river are two restive horses near a boat. On the opposite bank are washerwomen. To the left, through the front arch of the bridge, is seen a harvest waggon, which is being loaded. "Painted in the artist's second manner" (Sm.).
