On the left of the foreground are buildings and a path following the river on which people stand including a number of girls with young children seated inside perambulators. A small white dog stands with its back to the viewer. On the far left stands a man in right side profile, wearing a top hat. Another man leans against the wooden fence that borders the path. A number of boats lie moored on the water.
