The poster is made in a light, slightly yellowish paper tone with blue horizontal lines in the background, reminiscent of water waves. The main elements of the image are two figures: one sits on a light, creamy horse decorated with red and green ribbons, while the other stands beside it, holding a green vase with a fruit arrangement. The horse has a red ribbon on its face, and the seated person wears a red hat and a blue-green checkered cloak. The standing figure is bare, only with a green leaf wreath around the waist. In the upper left corner, a round, ornate object with an onion-shaped form is visible. The bottom part of the poster is dominated by large, bold inscriptions in green and red, contrasting with the blue background. The design is asymmetrical, with the figures placed slightly to the left of the center.
