National Gallery of Art

The largest objects in the image are the wooden staircase and its accompanying banister. The color palette consists of warm brown tones for the wood against a neutral, light beige background. The staircase and banister are positioned slightly to the right, ascending diagonally from bottom left to top right, with the bottom newel post and two visible stairs anchoring the lower left corner.
