Near them are a goat, a sheep, and a dog. A herdsman, who blows a horn, drives an ox by a cord along a road to the right. A boy stands to the left of him. At the road- side to the right sits a woman ; a man lying on the ground rests his head on her lap. In the right distance are two water-mills and another build- ing. Round them are sunlit meadows ; in front is a pool in which the buildings are reflected. The figures were attributed by Sm. to A. van de Velde. A "capital picture" (Sm.).

A man holding a boy by his left hand comes forward along the road ; two men are at the wooden fence in the middle distance ; farther back a man walks away.
