The image depicts a still life of a broken mirror on a red floor. The mirror has a black frame adorned with gold dots and a design on the top right corner; it is lying on its side, and the glass is cracked. A peach-colored semi-circle, likely the sun, is visible through the mirror. On the floor, to the left of the mirror, are several objects: a green box with a round object on top featuring a man and woman; several long, thin objects; and a pile of papers. The wall behind the mirror and objects features Japanese writing in black ink. The overall background of the image is a light beige color.
