A cherry cardigan brings a bright detail to a breezy crossing on a small rope ferry. Red beaded cherry buttons with green leaves run down the front of the ivory knit, above a rust circle skirt that opens around the woman's wide stance. She holds the thick rope with both hands as it passes through a solid wooden guide on the railing.

Her long hair lifts in the breeze while sunlight falls across the wet planks and brown ankle boots. Willow branches hang over the quiet green water, with a plain landing visible on the opposite bank. The full figure and clear rope line make the gentle pulling action part of the outfit's movement.
