Sveta Markova (Tsarevna Lyagushka) enters the surf while visiting a beach. She wears a polka-dot bikini and stands at center in about knee-deep water. A small wave behind her breaks. She stands facing the right, but turns her head towards the camera with a look of surprise on her face. In the background, a man walks across a swimming pier at right. Further back, low mountains rise.
