The image shows two rectangular pieces of glass. The glass on the left has scratches on it. Both pieces have a black band across the bottom with white text. The text on both bands reads "WINDOW GLASS 8X10" on the top line and "FROM CHARMING FORGE MANSION" on the bottom line. The glass pieces are framed in metal and have two small metal loops at the top, from which they appear to be hanging. The background is light gray. There is small text in the bottom-right corner that reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM". The title of the image is Windowpane by Henry William Stiegel.
