Physical Description
Left edge displays small tears, indicating former binding.
TOP IMAGE. A river tapers from the bottom edge to the right. In the right bottom corner a row boat is steered by a man standing with a pole, while a passenger sits astern. A thatched-roof structure, possibly multiple structures, dominates the left-hand side of the composition, while a windmill - identifying the scene as taking place in Holland - appears in the bottom right distance. Other structures line the left riverbank in the right corner, perhaps denoting a village. Boulders fill the bottom left.
BOTTOM IMAGE. A river fills the bottom right corner, along whose banks two or three travelers - one standing, one sitting, a third possibly lying down - rest with their gear. Boulders fill the bottom left, covered with scraggly vegetation. The largest boulder is topped by a nearly dead tree, while to the distant left another boulder is topped with another pair of travelers, one figure standing and pointing with walking stick, a second at his feet.
Subject Matter
TOP IMAGE. A river scene with a boat of travellers on the bottom right, a large thatched dwelling structure on the left, and a village and distant windmill in the background.
BOTTOM IMAGE. A riverscape with boulders and trees at the edge of a small river. Small travelers are present on a boulder to the left, and the water's edge at bottom right.
