Description

The view runs down a vaulted nave with plain whitewashed walls toward a dark carved wooden screen hung with icons and cloths, and a crystal chandelier hangs in front of it. In the foreground a canopied stand draped with white cloth stands on a tiled floor, with a tall candelabrum to the left. A row of wooden chairs lines the right wall beside a plank door, and a wooden ladder leans against the left wall near a raised platform.
