Abstract:
A young couple head toward the stairs leading up from the small wharf where they have disembarked from a small row boat. They hold onto their hats in the strong wind that brings the water lapping at her heels and bends the trees in the distance. The waterman in the boat leans back on his elbow as he looks up at the girl whose skirts are blown up around her calves; his wig having been blown off lies behind him on the prow of the boat. He wears his waterman's badge on his right arm
