The scene depicts a richly decorated interior room within the Rohan Palace in Strasbourg, France

The scene depicts a richly decorated interior room within the Rohan Palace in Strasbourg, France. A high white ceiling is adorned with intricate gold rococo-style moldings. A large, multi-tiered crystal chandelier with illuminated candle-shaped bulbs hangs centrally from the ceiling. The dominant feature of the back wall is a substantial tapestry depicting a dramatic historical or mythological battle. The tapestry features numerous figures, both mounted and on foot, horses, and elements of classical architecture, including an archway visible on the right side. This tapestry is framed by red borders and extends above a light-colored dado rail. Arranged beneath the tapestry along the back wall are three pieces of antique furniture: a central two-seater settee flanked by two armchairs, all characterized by ornate gold-painted wooden frames and light-colored, patterned upholstery. To the left of the left armchair is a small, ornate side table with a light-colored top. To the right of the right armchair, another small, ornate side table supports a decorative ceramic bowl or planter. The left wall, partially visible, features light-colored panels with gold trim. In the corner formed by the left and back walls, a tall, dark-colored vase with white and red decorative motifs rests atop a fluted red pedestal. The floor is made of polished wooden parquet, laid in a geometric pattern. Direct sunlight streams into the room from an unseen source, casting bright, diagonal reflections across the floor. In the immediate foreground, a long, irregularly shaped piece of clear glass or similar transparent material lies horizontally on the parquet, reflecting the incoming light and portions of the room. No individuals are present in the scene.
