The scene is set in the city of New York, United States. The image depicts a dimly lit, nighttime environment viewed through a large, empty, clear stemmed wine glass that occupies the majority of the foreground. The glass exhibits reflections and distortions of the background elements. In the midground, an adult female with dark hair, wearing dark clothing, is partially visible. She is focused downward, holding a silver-colored knife in her right hand and actively cutting pieces of dark, cooked meat on a light-colored wooden cutting board. Her left hand is resting near her jawline. Two other empty clear glasses are present on the surface: one inverted to the left of the cutting board, and another ribbed glass partially visible on the far right. The illumination comes from an artificial light source off-camera to the left, casting a warm glow. A textured wall, possibly stone or brick, is discernible in the far right background.
