The painting shows a boat on water with people inside. A man in a blue robe rows the boat, while others sit or stand around him. Some wear white or red hats, and one person has a red sash around their waist. In the background, there are buildings and a church steeple. A man in a black hat and coat stands in the boat, possibly a priest or doctor on a house call. The people in the boat seem to be in a solemn mood. Look up more works by artist Matthew James Lawless.
