The image depicts an outdoor scene in Zaanse Schans, Zaandijk, Netherlands, under an overcast sky. In the immediate foreground, a large, antique Admiralty-pattern anchor, heavily rusted and dark brown/black, is positioned upright, partially embedded in patchy green grass and exposed soil. The anchor features a weathered, dark wooden stock and a visible metal ring connecting it to the shank; one fluke is partially obscured by the ground. Small green plants and weeds are present around the anchor's base. A narrow, dark-water canal or ditch runs horizontally across the midground, its banks densely lined with green vegetation. Beyond the canal, a flat expanse of green fields extends into the distance. The background is dominated by multiple traditional Dutch windmills, characterized by their green bodies and white sails or arms. Interspersed among the windmills are numerous historic wooden buildings with dark green facades and roofs. A church spire and another distinct tower are discernible within the distant village structures. No individuals are present in the scene, which is static.
