Exact mirror image on old parchment
A painting depicts a village scene along a narrow canal or river. A row of old, rustic houses with terracotta tiled roofs and faded, whitewashed facades lines the bank, with some exhibiting exposed brickwork. The houses sit amidst rocky, earthy terrain, and several have staircases leading down towards the water's edge. Some houses show signs of wear and age, with peeling paint and weathered textures. The water in the foreground and stretching into the distance is a clear, light blue-green, reflecting the sky and the houses with slight distortions creating rippling effects.
In the middle ground of the water, a wooden rowboat holds two men. One man, wearing a dark hat and shirt, is seated and appears to be rowing with two oars. The other man, standing in the boat with his back to the viewer, wears a light blue-green shirt and a straw hat, holding a long pole that extends into the water. The boat is tied by a metal chain to the bank on the right side of the image.
On the right bank, a woman wearing a white hat, an orange-brown top, and a dark skirt stands, holding a fishing rod out over the water. Her stance suggests she is actively fishing.
