The still image shows two women hand-harvesting grapes in a vineyard with tall rows of vines stretched between posts. The woman on the right picks grapes from the vine, while the woman on the left empties the harvest into a pushcart; a harvest bucket stands on the ground. In the background, a church tower and gentle hills are discernible through light ground mist, indicating a typical Rheingau location. The photograph belongs to the section of the travel film that, following the spa resort of Wiesbaden, presents the wine and river landscape of the Rheingau as an agriculturally characterized cultural region. Manual labor during harvest, traditional work clothing, and the open hillside landscape convey an image of peasant wine-growing tradition on the Rhine.
