In a country setting with cows and a windmill in the background, a young milkmaid sits on a bench under an oak tree, receiving a ribbon from a young sailor seated beside her. Another young girl looks on from behind, while the milkmaid's country suitor stands behind sulkily scratching his head. A dog paws at the milkmaid's lap while another drinks from the milking pail
