As the sun sets in the distance on the right, a rowing boat and a fishing boat (boeier) make their way towards a bridge with a characteristic Dutch drawbridge. On the opposite side of the river (the Vecht) is the cruciform church of St Ludgerus, Loenen aan de Vecht, with its tall tower. Two empty boats are moored near a bank of tall trees.
