To the left a table with a cloth holds a candlestick, a chalice, and other small objects, and a simple wooden chair sits beside it. An open doorway with a partially ajar door reveals a dark space beyond and a curved arch above.

Wooden railings and a low stool appear in the foreground right, and various domestic items such as a basket and a shoe are scattered on the floor. The walls and ceiling show detailed wood grain and plaster textures throughout.
