Farmhouse Interior

In this dimly lit, rustic interior, a solitary figure sits contemplatively near a large, dark fireplace that gently glows with warm embers, casting flickering shadows across the rough-hewn stone floor. A small, attentive cat crouches nearby, its attention drawn to the dim corner. On the mantelpiece, two decorative plates and small objects catch the sparse light filtering through a modest window adorned with colorful flowers, offering a glimpse of a serene, clear day outside.
