The cover of the album, painted by Stelio Diamantopoulos, represents a carnival of the late eighteenth century, with some storm clouds, this begins the character and the story of the Harlequin, alter ego of Tilo Wolff. He participated happily in the carnival until something happened. This fact was what caused the harlequin to leave his home.
