It is filled with a bank of a little river covered with grass and bushes, the forest on the background and the two horses. There is a little boat on the bank of the river. We can see the moon coming from the top of the trees and the fog is getting to the fields. Different shades of grays, whites and blues suitable for reproduction of a summer night have been used here.
