In this painting, a group of people are in a boat on a body of water, with a large rocky cliff in the background. The sky is blue with some clouds. The people in the boat are dressed in old-fashioned clothing. The painting is done in watercolour, which gives it a soft and dreamy quality. The artist has used a range of colours to capture the different textures and tones of the scene.
