The image shows two figures from about the waist up. The woman on the left has a round face with a wide smile, closed eyes, styled hair, and a striped, short-sleeved dress. The man on the right is turned towards the woman, kissing her hand. He has wide-open eyes, short, dark hair, and is wearing a dark, double-breasted coat. The background has a textured pattern of lines, handwriting above the figures, and a number at the bottom left.
