Across the water (right) is a house with a high-pitched roof. Five men, three of whom are smoking, fish in the foreground in close proximity, two others on the farther side; an eighth (left) approaches carrying his rod. This appears to be the extreme north corner of the reservoir, where it is narrowest. Cf. British Museum online catalogue
