This print shows a plain room with red walls and pink floral wallpaper. A window with blue curtains lets in light, and a dark wooden floor runs along the bottom. The walls are bare except for a small, faded painting hanging crookedly on the left side. The artist used a loose, sketchy style—like quick brushstrokes—to fill the scene. The colors are flat and bright, with no deep shadows. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
