content: A view into a rectangular room, with two posts supporting the drapery and curtains of the alcove. At right the two sketches, one above the other. The upper one suggests a tripartite front of a tent, with closed lateral parts, and a pointed roof between two motifs. Above, the openings are rectangular with entwined triangular forms, in the frieze on top.
