The still image shows a woman wearing a white headscarf and apron engaged in labor-intensive harvesting from tall grapevine rows; beside her stand a wooden bucket and a laden wheelbarrow. Additional harvest workers can be seen in the depth of the vine rows; in the background, a village church tower is outlined in light haze. The photograph belongs to the Rheingau section of the travel film, in which the wine landscape on the Rhine is presented as a characteristic feature of the region—both in terms of landscape and economy. It documents the traditional hand harvest, which remained customary in the Rheingau well into the twentieth century. Within the context of the cultural film, the scene represents the image of the fertile German river land shaped by viticulture.
