A young man or boy in a brown coat and hat sits in the grass in center facing the river that winds from the left. Further down the river a few undefined people hang out in leisurely poses, one under a parasol. Young trees with thin trunks dot the landscape and form an ordered cluster on the right. Everything is painted in short loose brush strokes. Vibrant greens are the predominant color of the grass and tree canopies. A large dark green shadow is painted in the foreground, with the artist’s signature in the lower right in dark red.
