The narrow scene is of a wall in a workshop. Lighting is bright and natural, but side-on and casting shadows, presumably from a window off screen. The edge of a curtain sways gently in and out of frame. There is a workbench littered with tools and materials, fabrics, sewing equipment, scissors, and the like. Above hang two marionettes, one in the likeness of a soft teddy bear, the other a doll of a young girl. To the right is another hanging space, but no puppet. The strings trail off hallway down, not clean cut but frayed. The wooden paneling behind is slightly worn but otherwise clean. Further up, several books and a small fragrant plant occupy a neat shelf. A closer look at titles reveal the books to be mainly craft guides, with a few notable exceptions.
