This image shows a simple bedroom scene. A child lies in a curved bed, reaching toward a window where two stick-like figures stand. The floor has black-and-white checkered tiles, and a bench sits near the bed. A towel hangs on the right wall, and another drapes over the left side. The artist used bold black lines against a pale yellow background, making shapes stand out sharply. This style was common in woodcut prints of the time.
