A starboard view of a small sampan being sculled by man at the stern, with two other people standing amidships. On deck is a small child in a wicker chair/pram.

In the background are other junks and sampans, one heavily laden with cargo bales, and another under sail. On the shoreline is a factory with tall chimney [same building as in N64428] and other single-storey buildings.

The original negative envelope is labelled (by a more recent hand): "Boating Party, Junk in background'.
