The image shows the interior of a home with white walls and grey + white checkerboard floors. A tree stands in a circle of stones in the middle of the floor. A spiral staircase can be seen to the right. There are a couple of framed art pieces on the walls and decorations near the floors. Behind the tree, an open doorway leads to a black piano in a separate room.
