The background is painted in multiple coloured touches of the brush. The painting is signed "Michael Vokabre 2025 5785 Tel Aviv Jaffa Container House Jaffa Port"

A composite scan of the whole postcard with the painting described before on the left. On the right above where the address goes is the front of the postcard, a painting by Marc Chagall called "The Inspiration of the Artist" from 1980, described as "gouache watercolour and Indian ink on paper". On it there's an artist in the middle, making the painting on the left, a vase. Above him flying is a golden angel and on the right is a red cow playing a violin. The stamp on the left, priced 4.20 is from the series "Art from the Holocaust" depicting an artwork Yehuda Bacon "To The Man Who Restored My Belief In Humanity" painted in Prague in 1945 in gouache, charcoal and pencil on paper. The stamp on the right, priced 8.30 is titled "The LGBTQ Community" and shows a crowd of different people in digital flat graphic style.
