In the distance, to the left, the church tower of Saint-Martin-la Garenne, outlined against the hills, can be discerned. This canvas was done at a slightly later date than the first views executed after the ice breakup. The jagged ice floes, given emphasis by impasto colours, are less numerous. They have also been thrown up onto the banks, as can be seen from the pile in the left foreground. The water has lost its devastating power, becoming calmer.
