A sparsely furnished room with pale blue walls, featuring a single framed portrait of a woman with reddish hair wearing a yellow blouse hanging on the wall. To the left, a black chair with a red cushion is partially visible, and to the right, a large, white-framed window allows natural light to enter. The room shows signs of wear and age, with peeling paint on the window frame and debris on the wooden floor.
