An interior scene. A wall with two large windows runs diagonally from the left foreground to the right background. A bench is built into the wall underneath the first window. A middle-aged man with a moustache and dressed in a dark uniform kneels on the bench. He appears to be in the process of opening the window with his right hand. A younger woman stands next to him and inquisitively peeks through the gap. She is wearing an overcoat on top of a flounced crinoline dress and a small, off-the-face bonnet decorated with flowers and tied with a large bow underneath her chin.
