At the Center of the image stands a red couch where a man dressed in traditional Jewish black clothing and wearing a yarmulke is seated. At his left seats a woman in a blue dress, while at his left seats a younger woman in a pink dress. Both women hold on to the men's white beard, while he is seemingly oblivious to it and looks straight ahead. On the right end of the room stands a table with a green tablecloth with a red chair beside it. a carpet, a cabinet with a mirror and pictures on the walls decorate the room. the writing on the bottom describes the scene as קרח מכאן וקרח מכאן. This may imply that the pulling at the beard is a metaphor for the women making use of the man's finances or otherwise exploiting him to their needs.;Stamp Origin - Switzerland (Country);Post office marks Origin - Basel (City), Switzerland (Country);Post office marks Languages Of Text - German
