This is a monochromatic sketch of an interior. There is a bed with a figure pulling a curtain and looking towards an open window where a rooster is perched. A chair nearby has some articles, and a small round table with a tall object stands beside the bed. The drawing depicts fabric folds and lines in the drapery and bedding, highlighting the textured atmosphere of the scene.
