This is a print showing an interior space with a large rose window at the top. The interior is spacious, with architectural details such as tall columns supporting a high ceiling and a second level with a railing below the window. Closer to us, there are details suggesting pews or benches, and in the background, there are simplified shapes suggesting a crowd of people standing below the tall, dark wall. Objects that look like lamps or incense burners can be seen hanging from the ceiling, and light filters through the window, illuminating the ground below. The bottom and sides of the print are less detailed, while center and top, which show the back wall, are more detailed.
