Interior with dropped wood ceiling. To the left is a long cabinet with a floral arrangement on top and shelves above. The rear center of the room is occupied by an office desk and armchair. On the right is a bench/cabinet combination piece of furniture. The back wall has Venetian blinds and a colorful tapestry (probably designed by Matégot, the location of which is unknown).
