A woman in a grey cheongsam, with her hair in a bun, flexes her bicep while looking at a man in a blue robe who is washing dishes in a metal basin. The man has a distressed expression on his face, with his eyes closed and mouth open as if crying or yelling. His left hand holds a sponge, scrubbing a plate, while his right hand holds another plate. The sink is overflowing with soapy water and dirty dishes, and there are stacks of dirty and clean dishes on the counters around them. The room appears to be rustic, with wooden walls and shelves holding baskets and other kitchen items. Both individuals are East Asian. A window is visible in the background.
