A genre painting of a young girl in a grey peasant dress seated on the bank of a river, surrounded by wild growing grasses and angular rocks. She is nervously stretching her left foot as if about to dip her toes in the water. She is a typical English rose with bright, red rosy cheeks and pale skin. She earnestly glances up at the viewer. There is a dense woodland in the background coloured in rich green and brown colours.
