Description:
A portrait of a European, probably English, couple sitting at a laid table in a spatious open-sided rectilinear building, with two dogs waiting for scraps below.
The building is made from local materials and probably with local labour, although the large rectilinear form with two large internal roof supports made from tree trunks indicates that it was probably made to the local administration's design.
