Painted in oils on canvas, the work depicts as its central feature three horses pulling what appears to be a wood [[Wagon|wain]] or large farm waggon across the river. [[Willy Lott's Cottage]], also the subject of an eponymous painting by Constable, is visible on the far-left. The scene takes place near [[Flatford Mill]] in Suffolk, though since the Stour forms the border of two counties, the left bank is in Suffolk and the landscape on the right bank is in Essex. |
