A ruffled denim skirt folds beside a richly patterned floral carpet as two people unroll it outside a furnishing shop. The woman kneels on the upper landing in a pale yellow jacket, holding the broad textile while looking back toward the smiling shopkeeper. He steadies the far end as the carpet descends over the stone shop steps.

Burgundy, ochre and cobalt flowers spread across nearly the entire foreground, following the changing levels in soft heavy folds. Wooden chairs and lamps sit beyond the open doorway, and rain-darkened stone glistens along the edges. The long perspective gives the unfolding rug an extravagant scale while keeping the woman's curved denim ruffle and their shared reaction visible.
