A colorful illustration of a scene with a man and woman. The man wearing an orange robe sits on a large chair. A woman wearing a yellow top and a green skirt sits to his left on an orange couch. The woman holds a flyswatter in her right hand. A metal bowl sits on a pedestal in front of them. Two people stand behind the woman and two people stand behind the man; each of them holds a flyswatter. A green and red patterned wall with two windows is above them. A beige background surrounds the entire image. The woman's face is turned away from them. Black writing in a foreign language is at the top.
