Horizontal painting, a panorama of Tel Aviv as seen from Jaffa, painted in watercolour with ink lines. In the middle is the sea, in the front is the wall of Jaffa near a cafe, a woman in a short sleeved shirt with long dark red hair sits on the stone fence drinking cold coffee, a man in a hat in a white short sleeved shirt sits next to her. A cup is near to him, another cup is on the wooden fence to the right. Another woman with a headscarf and glasses looks in the distance. There's a small sailing ship with a blue-yellow sail, and above is a small two seater passenger plane. The panorama in the distance shows tall buildings, with a tower of Reading Power plant in the middle-right.

Scan of the whole back of the postcard, the painting described before is on the bottom (as the postcard is turned 90 degrees to the left). Above the address superimposed is the front of the postcard, a photo by Shimon Rudolf "Rudi" Weissenstein of a street in Tel Aviv, with bauhaus buildings and a street in between with a few cars. To the left are two stamps. The stamp on the bottom is "Refugee stamp" with a graphic of a child behind a barbed wire, marked 1974 above and 2024 below, valued at 0,02 euro. The stamp on the top is orange coloured with a photo of an airplane signed Spirit of Saint Louis 1927, this stamp marked 2021, First Solo Transatlantic Flight. Both stamps are marked in Greek, English, Turkish. There are no postmarks.
