The image is a black and white photograph of an elderly couple sitting in front of a fireplace. The man is sitting on a bench and the woman is standing next to him. They are both dressed in traditional clothing, with the woman wearing a long dress and a headscarf, and the man wearing a suit and hat. The woman is holding a book and appears to be reading from it. Behind them, there is a shelf with various items on it, including a vase, a lamp, and a picture frame. The background is dark and the overall mood of the image is somber.
