A decorative fence runs along the left edge with a balustrade topped with finials. A decorative post topped with a finial and plant sits at the left edge. Three women dressed in white and dark tops sit and stand on the shore in the foreground. A boat sails on the water in the middle distance. The sky features large clouds.
