A color illustration in the style of Norman Rockwell. The scene depicts an 18th-century Costa Rican rural setting, where a woman in her forties is cooking. She is using a traditional Latin American wood- or charcoal-burning stove—black, with curved legs, and showing signs of wear from years of use. It is situated in an open-sided, roofed structure (a *galerón*) and features a black metal chimney. This area lies behind an old, colonial-style adobe house. The surroundings consist of coffee plantations and fruit trees. Two hens—one white, one brown—along with two chicks, wander about, pecking at corn kernels scattered on the dirt floor. A small black-and-white dog lies asleep in a corner of the space, which is supported by log pillars and topped with a tiled roof. Nearby, a young boy and girl, aged about four or five and of Latin American appearance, are playing a game of chase. The setting is a pleasant spring day.
