A large azulejo panel, predominantly blue and white with yellow accents, adorns a building facade in Aveiro, Portugal. The panel's upper section features an ornate blue and white baroque-style decorative border, with a central cartouche inscribed "MARGENS DO RIO VOUGA" (Banks of the River Vouga). The main scene depicts a rural landscape along a river. In the left-center foreground, a dark ox, yoked to a two-wheeled wooden cart with a large woven basket, stands on a grassy bank. A male figure, wearing a hat and light-colored clothing, stands within the cart, facing right. To the right of the cart, a body of water extends across the mid-ground. Two female figures, dressed in traditional attire, are standing partially submerged in the shallow water near the right bank; one woman holds a net or basket. A pile of reeds or harvested material rests on the far right riverbank. The background features a dense line of trees on the opposite bank of the river, beneath a pale blue sky. Tall trees are also visible on the left side of the near bank. To the right of the azulejo panel, a stark white building wall with a white-framed window, featuring a horizontal mullion, is visible in the upper right portion of the image.
