The image displays an interior view of the Chapel of the Concepcionistas Misioneras de la Enseñanza (Missionary Conceptionist Sisters of Education) located at Calle Princesa, 20, in the city of Madrid, Spain. The upper portion of the scene features a large, arched stained-glass window composed of three vertical panels. The window primarily uses shades of vibrant blue glass as its background. Each panel depicts multiple stylized figures in various colored garments (red, green, yellow, purple), representing religious subjects. The central panel's upper section includes a depiction of a white dove with outstretched wings, symbolizing the Holy Spirit, above a figure in a red and blue robe. The window is set within a light-colored stone wall, showing architectural details like a pointed arch and carved elements. Below the stained-glass window, dominating the lower two-thirds of the image, is a large, framed oil painting. The painting is set in a golden frame. The central figure is an elderly nun, likely Saint Carmen Sallés y Barangueras, depicted in a black habit, white wimple, and a silver crucifix necklace, with her arms outstretched and palms open. She appears to be floating or ascending against a swirling, textured background of warm orange, yellow, and brown tones. To the left of the central nun, the painting portrays a darker, more earthly scene. A young woman with dark, curly hair is visible in the mid-ground, looking down at her hands. Below her, a child sleeps in a bed. In the upper-left background, a structure resembling a church spire stands against a dark, dramatic sky with hints of red. To the right of the central nun, a group of approximately 14-16 women, mostly dressed in black habits and white wimples, are clustered, looking towards the central figure. Below this group, a male figure in dark clerical attire, presumably a priest, also looks towards the nun. In the lower-right corner of the painting, a scene of humble, perhaps impoverished, dwellings (shacks) is depicted. The overall environment is one of a sacred space, characterized by the religious artwork and architectural elements. The lighting suggests interior illumination, possibly from the stained-glass window itself or artificial sources.
