On a makeshift wooden table in the right foreground is a pot sitting on a hotplate to the left is a cup and saucer and white highlighted wood table slats.

At the left a gray colored cross hangs on diagonal wall planking above a white metal bedstead; part of the bed is visible and has two yellowish billows at the head.
