A rectangular engraving showing a scenic view of the village of Sloterdijk. On the right, a large wooden windmill stands next to several houses. In the center background, a church with a spire and more houses are visible behind a wall. In the foreground, a canal (the Haarlemmer vaart) flows by with several small boats: one with a sail, and one rowboat carrying people. Two figures are fishing from the near bank on the left.

Figures are visible in a boat on the water and walking near the estate entrance. The sky is filled with horizontal clouds.
