The composition of 'Window, Dartmouth Row, Blackheath' by John Randall Bratby consists of irregular squares and rectangles forming a view from a window. Outside is the façade of a church and neighbouring houses along the street in south east London where Bratby and his wife Jean Cooke lived. Inside a Kellogg's cornflake packet and a small shelving unit, appear to rest on a concealed table top. Bratby plays with our sense of space – the shelving unit, placed at an angle, juts out towards us with the cornflake packet on its end. It is slightly unsettling not to see the table top. At the right is an unidentified interior feature which suspends from the wall held by a brace. Here Bratby treats a cornflake packet with the same level of detail as the view from the window.
