This painting shows a cluttered room with a wooden cabinet full of dishes and jars. A woman in dark clothes sits near a window, her back turned. The walls are plain, and the floor looks like dirt or straw. The cabinet’s shelves hold mismatched plates and bowls, some stacked crookedly. The light through the window makes one corner brighter than the rest. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
