Five abstract paintings are hanging on a wall above two arm chairs. A woman is relaxing in one of the chairs. The two paintings on the right and two paintings on the left are painted in darker colours, especially oranges and purples. The central image is composed of brisk red brush strokes on a white background. The brushstrokes are more concentrated in the centre giving the photograph a strong focal point.
