Towards the left a sheet of water, with two ducks near the front. Across the water a line of low buildings, with a tower rising behind them on the right ; before them is a long, narrow foot bridge. In the middle of the plate is a sailing boat, then trees, and near the front a boat ashore with mast and no rigging. In the foreground, long, shallow steps descending from the right towards the water. There is an unfinished sketch of a wooden shed with a man standing at the door, begun at the left end (afterwards treated as the top) of the plate. The principal subject is already well advanced. There is an inn (the " Horse and Groom ") quite to the left, which was afterwards effaced. The tall mast on the right is hardly begun and the trees are lower. The whole foreground is blank, without indication of steps.

The haystack

1 pp 1903

The stack, towards the right, is combined with a thatched, lean-to shed, one compartment of which shelters a wagon. To the left is a small shed beyond a fence ; on the near side of the palings are two ladders leaning against a wall. The top of another ladder projects above the ridge of the haystack. Two birds are flying and two others perch on the top of the stack. In the foreground are three hens ; another is seen more to the left and a fifth near the shafts of the wagon. Hitherto there had been a man, nearly white, kneeling towards the right on a ledge near the left end of the haystack. This figure is now worked over. A shadow on the wall, just to the right of the smaller of the two ladders in the corner, has been lightened.

The trees are almost completely burnished out. A few straggling lines, slanting downwards, project beyond the end of the haystack on the right.

The jetty projects to the left from the right end of the plate. Near its end is a sailing boat, and a sandalo, propelled by standing rowers, passes in front of it.
