A sluggish stream winds from the centre distance to the foreground, where it fills the whole width of the picture. The undulating bank forms on the right a sharp corner, at which are two men, one seated and the other standing. The seated man, who wears a grey hat, buff coat, and red breeches, is fishing. Behind them is a tree with scanty foliage. Beyond this, in the right middle distance, a woman carrying a basket on her head goes away to the back. Almost in the centre foreground three ducks swim to the left. The left bank rises gradually j it is densely covered with bushes and trees, among which a silver birch is prominent. The trees are reflected in the stream. Blue sky with clouds ; sunlight. Precisely the same composition occurs in 457, but the figures are slightly different. Formerly ascribed to Hobbema. Canvas, 21 inches by 25 inches. In the collection of Archibald M'Lellan, Glasgow, 1842 (Sm.), and 1854 (Waagen, iii. 289) ; bought by the city of Glasgow in May 1856.

To the left are cottages ; to the right is a road. Above to the right is a sunlit cloud. It appears to be a good picture, but is hung in a very dark place.
