Love at sea. A nautical romance is captured as a handsome couple embrace. The big splash of water at the peak moment of drama symbolizes passion and defines Falter's creativity in communicating a romantic narrative. This is a companion piece to a romance story.

In China the black sleeve-ends completely cover the hands, indicating that the high aristocracy does not have to do any manuel labour.
