A serene stretch of the river is visible in the foreground and center of the image, clearly reflecting the surrounding trees and the cloudy sky. The water surface is calm and dark, creating a distinct mirror effect. In the immediate foreground, along the left and bottom edges, individual tufts of green grass and sedges grow.

The river bend and its banks are surrounded by a wide, dense belt of yellow-brown, dry reeds from the previous year, which contrasts with the spring greenery. On the right bank, closer to the foreground, a small strip of vibrant green grass is visible beneath the trees. Slender deciduous trees rise through the reed field, with one leaning prominently over the water surface.

In the background, a dense line of trees with light green, newly emerging spring leaves rises on both sides of the river. Above the forest, a bluish sky covered with layers of white and greyish clouds is visible, letting diffused daylight into the entire natural landscape.
