A wintry evening landscape. In the centre, ruts in a track and the field to the left have become waterlogged, the trees and the glowing sky reflected in the surface water. Tall leafless trees, some with ivy-covered trunks, border the far end of this muddy field. A group of ducks sit behind the large puddle in the foreground in front of clumps of rough grass. Two small children and their dog walk along the track towards us. In the field to the right is another figure dressed in red. Behind the red figure is a sole evergreen tree, which stands next to a white cottage with a prominent chimney. To the far right timber leans against the trunk of a tree. A church with a tower can be seen behind the trees to the right, and from it houses stretch out to the centre of the horizon.
