A river or lake landscape with windmills and sailing boats in the background. A close-up of the bow of a wooden boat at the centre. A young man stands at the helm on a raised wooden platform at the tip of the bow. A railing is installed behind him and a some steps lead onto the platform. The helmsman is clean-shaven and wearing a dark cap and suit. Three young, clean-shaven men with dark hair sit on the deck around a small, low, wooden table in front of the helmsman and smoke.
