A richly colored red curtain with a black edge is partially drawn back to reveal a window sill. On the sill, there is a wilted plant in a white pot, a small bottle of alcohol, a miniature bottle of hot sauce, and an empty glass dish. The window provides a view of a bright blue sky and an urban landscape with buildings in the distance. The white-painted window frame contrasts with the dark curtain and the items on the sill.
