To kill two birds with one stone
Black and white griny picture of an elegantly dressed woman feeding pigeons, two men standing a bit further watching her

Due piccioni con una fava

which means literally:

Two pigeons with one broad bean

The context is apparently to lure the birds to catch (and eat) them so it is not quite so innocent as it sounds.
