The drawing is a fireplace design shown from a frontal and side view. The fire room of the stove constructed of green, „water-spotted” tiles is covered with a plate enriched with stars and small hearts. The wall surface above the fireplace is covered with a picture of ceramic plates, showing an idyllic country scene: a draw-well in the foreground, and a couple leaning on the fence in the back. The picture consisted of smaller elements, bordered with one stripe of tiles, their size is similar to that of the fireplace tiles, decorated with wild rose motif. The whole composition is enframed by a deep purple-probably eozin-row of tiles.
