Watercolour of a man cleaning the floor of a chapel that has been partially destroyed by a fire. The man, in dark trousers, a beige shirt and a red hat, bends his legs and leans to the right as he mops the floor. He is placed in the centre of the composition, under a pointed stone arch with his back to the viewer. A set of arches in the background show that he is placed in the aisle of the chapel and the natural light flooding in from the window of the arch before him highlights the stone ribs of the vaults. Chunks of broken stone and planks of wood lie on the floor of the foreground, showing the architectural damage caused by the fire. The arch to the man's left is significantly damaged and the natural light coming through indicates that the chapel roof has caved in. To his right an intact archway opeing out to a staircase portrays what how the damaged arch would've looked before the fire.
