The picture illustrates Song of Solomon 6: 4-9. The scene takes place in a round room. On the left foreground is a throne upon which a young woman, dressed in a yellow robe, is sitting. She is holding crowned bearded Solomon, who is standing on Shulamite's left, bending to her. The stone throne has reliefs on its front and back and lions rests. Only the front relief is seen: It represents a Menorah with two lions turning to it. On the left foreground two doves are cooing each other on the painted floor. Seven young women are seen in the background, some are embraced in couples and some sitting on the sofa that goes around the room. The view of Jerusalem walls is seen behind them, through the window. The brown picture frame includes two arched window. On the left frame, window represents three white kids, resting in the foreground, with a tree in their background. The window on the right frame represents three black kids under a palm tree, with gray mountains in the background. Above the central picture are depicted, from right to left, within squares, a couple of doves, a harp, a pomegranate, three spikes of wheat, and a couple of Shofarot. The text is written below the picture, in Hebrew brown block letters on a brown background.
