Canal running diagonally across the canvas from bottom left. Small houses on the opposite bank in traditional colour green with red roof tiles. The houses on the left face the water with their long sides, while the houses further along face the water with their front facades. A woman with a child are walking past the houses towards the right; behind them a man carrying a child. A drawbridge, painted green, extends from where the woman is walking to the lower right corner of the paintings. The drawbridge is reflected in the water.

A vibrant garden path filled with tall sunflowers leads to a house, while a child plays with a toy and figures in white stroll nearby.
