A woman, seated behind, holds up a large fish in her right hand to a mounted cavalier to the left, who is seen in a three-quarter view from the front. To the left of him are two dogs. In the centre, to the right of this group, stand a woman in profile to the left, and a man behind her to the right, beside a grey horse laden with fishing-tackle, which is seen from the back. To the right, farther back, at the edge of the dunes, sit two figures with their backs to the spectator ; one points with the right hand to the sea, enlivened with fishing- boats in the distance.
