At center lower right an armchair is partly rendered in dark gray ink wash, interrupted by white space where a figure would be. At lower center, curved stripes appear in the shape of a small skirt in front of the chair. At lower left and lower right spattered dots of ink appear, while above left and center small incidental irregular shapes hover in white space. In the upper right corner, small daubs of ink appearing in a loose grid form window panes in the background.
