The picture shows a young couple in their early twenties sitting on the grass and looking at each other happily. They must be having a picnic because there is a wooden basket with food and beverages in the background. The slender woman to the left has got a light smooth complexion, a small nose and a charming smile. Her mid back length hair with a side parting is straight and blonde. She is wearing a dark purple blouse and a turquoise top. The man opposite appears to be of medium height and well-built. He may be the same age as the woman or a little bit older. He is bald and clean-shaven which makes him look more masculine. He is casually dressed in a pure white T-shirt and light blue jeans.
In the foreground of the picture I can see two elderlypeople resting on a comfortable red couch and smiling. The lady to the right, who is holding a laptop on her knees, is rather slim and tall with a friendly smile and light complexion. Her beaming face is framed by a mass of short straight white hair which makes her look younger than she really is. She has got beige trousers and light cream turtle neck. The man to the left, who is probably her husband, is also tall and looks a bit overweight with his round belly. He has got slightly tanned skin with a fewwrinkles and laughter lines. A grey beard and a moustache add up to his image of a perfect grandfather. In this photograph the man put on a pair of jeans and a royal blue sweater with a buttoned neck.
