A woman wearing an orange skirt and a green top stands indoors. She looks to her right and holds her right hand out to a green parrot perched on a wooden cage. A blue and white bird sits on the right edge of a bed covered by orange and blue patterned fabric and a red and blue roof. The background shows a blue wall with geometric patterns, a red railing, trees, and a hanging lantern. The image is surrounded by black foreign script on tan paper.
