There is a large building in the background, which seems to be a barn or a farmhouse. The scene has a rural aesthetic and captures the essence of a fishing contest. The vibrant colors and brushstrokes used in the artwork contribute to its realism, making it feel like a snapshot of a moment in time. The work showcases Pytlak's talent for depicting everyday scenes with a touch of whimsy and humor, highlighting his mastery of lithography.
