This is a drawing of an interior scene. The drawing shows a rustic and humble room with a wooden floor and a diagonal beamed ceiling. The light comes through a leaded glass window on the left, illuminating the cluttered interior. To the left, there is a bed or sleeping area with cloths and a wooden table. In the foreground, a wicker basket and a pot with its lid ajar are seen on the floor. A shelf on the wall near the ceiling is filled with candles and fabric. The drawing is done in shades of brown, giving it an old-world, warm appearance.
