Additional Details:
An elderly woman with white hair, wearing a polka dot dress, sits in a wicker chair and sips tea from a teacup and saucer. A vase of flowers sits on the table beside her. A poem in Czech accompanies the image:

Matíčko, tys moje hvězda,
jez se nikdy nekal,
ktera svítí ve dne v noci
v bezpečí i v úskalí.
Hluboko v tvém srdci leží
útěcha má přesladká:
Ty jsi moje v celém světě
nejkrásnější pohádka.

(Translation: Mommy, you are my star, a lake that is never murky, which shines day and night in safety and in distress. Deep in your heart lies my sweetest comfort: You are my most beautiful fairy tale in the whole world.)
