Summary

Rural scene with a large stone house amongst dense trees and foliage on the left side of the composition. In the foreground, two figures stand beside a stream, holding nets; a large overhanging rock beneath the house looks over the stream to the left. To the right and in the background, two smaller buildings stand above the scene with thick green trees around them. The sky is hazy and blue with a dark cloud looming to the right.
