There is a large jug placed on a ledge along with a pipe, seen towards the center right. The background reveals a landscape with a house to the left and a mountain under a night sky with a moon slightly above the center line. The color palette is monochrome, using shades of gray to establish a serene, nighttime atmosphere. The jug is positioned in the foreground on the right, with the pipe beneath it, and the house and mountain are visible through what appears to be a window on the left side of the scene.
