Pierre Roy

A room with canon at left pointed toward a wall divided into four segments: wood grain at top left; at top right, gray tubes with halved spheres; at bottom left, blue sky and clouds; and at bottom right, a brown building with curtained windows.

Beyond these shapes is the suggestion of a hazy green sky with clouds and perhaps more shapes.
