Brief Description
A dark-framed window filled with dense green foliage, including vine leaves and slender branches
Detailed Description
A vertical rectangular window features a thick, dark brown frame. The window is divided into four rectangular panes by a dark, cross-shaped mullion. Through these panes, a dense arrangement of green foliage is visible, primarily consisting of vine leaves and slender branches. The leaves display various shades of green, from deep forest green to lighter yellow-green, and some show distinct lobed shapes. They appear to be growing close to the window, with some leaves overlapping the edges of the individual panes. Thin, dark branches and stems weave through the leafy clusters. The background visible between the foliage is a muted, light beige or pale grey, suggesting either an overcast sky or a distant wall. The overall lighting is soft and natural, illuminating the leaves without harsh shadows.
