It shows a vase with white lilies standing on a small table that also holds a binyeo and garakji. Behind that is a married couple in Joseon-era hanbok with the wife in women's attire leaning down to kiss her sitting partner in men's attire on the cheek. A mirror shows both in women's attire with the leaning wife happily kissing the other on the cheek. The chest stands in front of an open window showing the silhouette of trees against a sunset sky.
