This painting depicts a window with a circular top and a rectangular bottom, set in a stone wall. The window is divided into sections by thin lines, with a yellow star shape at its center. A dark object hangs from the wall to the left of the window. The window appears to be reflecting the sky and trees outside, with the sky visible through the window's upper section. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. To learn more about the artist's use of light and shadow, explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
