A richly patterned red, black, and floral carpet with a stitched square textile laid at the centre, bordered in red, yellow, and orange. Five colourful check-patterned balls sit atop the textile. Scattered around the edges are old-fashioned toys, paper cards, and a small illustrated box, suggesting a Victorian-era play setting. The scene is lit with dim but warm light, with shadows cast diagonally across the composition.
