At left, three figures on a canoe approach two others on the shore, while two animals graze nearby. Across the river, three figures stand on a loaded barge with other figures and animals on the bank at right. Thatched structures with another figure visible far right. In the background, billowing clouds comprise a vibrant sunset.
