A vertically oriented color lithograph on light beige paper depicts two figures on a stone ledge. On the left, a woman in a white headscarf and shawl looks toward a man on the right. With a white beard and dark turban, he sits before an ornate stone niche and writes on a paper. A tall hookah stands beside him. The scene is rendered in muted earth tones with the title THE LETTER-WRITER below.
