A colorful illustration depicts a scene with a man sitting on a raised platform. He wears orange pants and a peach-colored top with a white sash around his waist. A green and gold patterned cloth hangs behind him. He has his right arm raised, palm facing outward, and his left hand on his knee, palm down. To his right stands a woman in a long pink skirt and yellow top. A man in a blue tunic and orange pants stands to her right, gesturing with his hands. On the left side, three men interact. One in white and red holds a sword and grasps another man in orange. A third man in yellow sits on the floor. In the background, a red wall with white pillars and a gold patterned frieze is visible. Above, a white building with a red and white striped dome and two smaller white domes stands against a blue and orange sky.
