The clothing on the rack includes a white garment with a red sash, a brown garment, and a white garment with a green and black pattern. The clothing on the floor appears to be a pile of various fabrics in shades of white, gray, brown, and green. The wall behind the screen is beige. The title of the piece is "Whose Sleeves?
