The painting presents an interior where narrative is conveyed through structure and light. The open window operates as the focal point, an architectural frame that draws the outside world into the room. Strong directional light reveals the irregular texture of the plaster and floor, emphasising the lived character of the space. Attention is given to atmosphere, stillness and the passage of daylight on surfaces.
