A priest is resting in an armchair by the window in this indoors scene. He is smiling at the large parrot perched on a stand by the window, while a cat sits on a stool beside him, looking forward out of the painting. On a table to the left china and alcohol are visible. The walls are bare and there are no carpets on the floor. Light streams in from the open window. |
