Watercolour of a rowing eight sitting at front-stops; to the right foreground floats a buoy, to the left two little rowing boats of spectators. In the background are trees and buildings, to the left a bridge, presumably Putney Bridge.
School from the North end, looking South; the roof is missing and the Rose Window of the Abbey is clearly visible in the background. The walls of School are brightly coloured, and in the foreground are patterns of light from the windows in the North end.
The chairs are set out as for prayers; the shell is absent; the bust of Busby now on the Grand Staircase is at the far end; there is a desk and blackboard in the left foreground; two boys are on the right in the middle-ground.
