The scene depicts an interior exhibition space within the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. In the foreground, two dark bronze sculptures are prominently displayed: on the left, a partial view of a female figure with braided hair, a smooth torso, and a curled left arm; on the right, a stylized human head sculpture with simplified features including prominent eyes and a small, protruding mouth, set on a dark rectangular base atop a white plinth. Behind this head, a dark, textural sculpture of another head with a large, hollow eye socket is partially visible. The background consists of a plain white wall displaying three framed paintings: an ornate gold-framed still life depicting fruit and a white vessel in the upper left, a smaller framed artwork of abstract or semi-abstract nature below it, and centrally, an ornate gold-framed painting, identifiable as Henri Matisse's 1923 "Seated Figure" (Femme assise), depicting a woman in yellow and blue attire. The floor is a light-colored, textured surface. The environment is well-lit with uniform artificial light, and no individuals are present.
