About this work

This painting shows a group of people in a boat on a lake. They're all wearing old-fashioned clothes and hats. The boat is near the shore, where there are trees and grass. The people in the boat seem to be enjoying themselves. Some are looking at the water, and others are talking to each other. The sky above is cloudy and gray, which makes the scene feel calm and peaceful. This painting is held at the Ashmolean Museum.
