An old tree rises in the foreground, left of centre. A man is bundling together some brushwood to the left of the tree. Another man holding a basket watches from beside a large tree stump. On a winding path to the right of the tree, a man leads a horse loaded with packs followed by a young woman holding a pitcher. The couple, probably servants, are addressed from the side of the road by another traveller with a stoop who carries a bag on his back and holds a stick. Behind them is Wollaton park lake and the Hall, with its four distinctive towers and raised central hall, can be seen lit by sunlight high on the hills in the distance. A brown and white dog races along the road in the foreground, presumably chasing a rabbit which is outside the picture frame.
