The illustration depicts a man and a parrot on a porch. The man wears an orange shirt and a green and yellow skirt. He stands on a pink and green tiled porch, with his right hand raised. The parrot perches on a roof railing, to the man's left. The roof features two large domes adorned with blue, green, and red tiles. A tree with white flowers and green leaves stands to the right. Three birds fly in the sky. The background includes a blue sky and green foliage. The scene is framed by a border with a thin red line and thicker beige border. Black text in a foreign script is written below the illustration.
