The image depicts a still life arranged on a wooden windowsill overlooking a snow-covered urban environment in Yekaterinburg, Russia. In the immediate foreground, a weathered, dark wooden windowsill serves as the base. On the left, a decorative brass ashtray, shaped like a slipper or shoe with an embossed pattern, contains a lit cigarette. A slender plume of smoke rises from the cigarette, and some ash is visible within the ashtray. To the right of the ashtray, a white ceramic mug with a handle rests on a small, round coaster with a red border. The mug is adorned with whimsical illustrations of various mushrooms, each depicted with human-like legs and buttocks. A faint wisp of steam is visible above the mug, indicating a hot beverage. Beyond the windowsill, the outdoor scene is a snowy, overcast winter day. The ground and rooftops of the visible buildings are blanketed in white snow. Several multi-story residential buildings, consistent with common architectural styles found in Russian cities like Yekaterinburg, are visible in the middle distance. These structures appear to be made of light-colored masonry, with numerous windows and some balconies. Bare, deciduous trees with intricate branch patterns are scattered throughout the scene, also appearing to be dusted with snow or frost. The sky is a uniform, bright white-grey, characteristic of heavy cloud cover or snowfall. A thin, light-colored diagonal line, possibly a power line or cable, stretches across the upper left quadrant of the exterior view.
