A horizontal black-and-white photograph depicts a store window with childish drawings and messages drawn in a layer of dust and dirt. A large drawing of a boat with a fishing net dominates the left portion of the window, and the bottom right portion is covered in messages such as "bert", "FRANK", "MATLLA", "The... | NUT", "AG", and the inverted numbers "42" and "38", as if they were written on the interior of the window.
