The woman has red hair and wears a white dress with a red vest, while the man wears a black hat and a white shirt. He is holding a large golden jug to his mouth. The woman's left arm is wrapped around the man's torso, and her right hand grasps the jug. The man's right arm is around the woman's waist, and his left hand holds the jug. The background is a blue sky with white clouds. The couple's joyful expression and the jug suggest a celebratory atmosphere.
