A masterpiece of contemporary painting, an oil painting using a multi-layered glaze technique. In the basement of a large store is a mannequin warehouse. Around two dozen mannequins stand against the walls in various poses. Some are wearing samples of men's and women's clothing. Several more mannequins lie on the floor and shelves of the warehouse. The warehouse also contains boxes of various goods and carts for transporting them. The warehouse doors are closed. Two dim light bulbs glow from the ceiling. In their light, the mannequins cast strange, eerie shadows.
A dark and grungy basement or storage room is illuminated by bare lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling, casting a dramatic, shadowy light on the scene. Rows of mannequins, in various states of dress and undress, stand against the grimy walls. Some are fully assembled, while others are dismembered, with limbs and torsos scattered across the floor and shelves. Several mannequins are dressed in worn clothing, including a man in a black fedora and trench coat and a woman in a red cocktail dress. A few mannequins are lying broken on the dirty floor. Cardboard boxes are stacked on the floor and on a rolling cart in the center. To the right, a tall metal shelf unit is filled with dismembered mannequin parts. A set of double doors, possibly leading to another part of the basement, stands in the background. The overall atmosphere is eerie and unsettling, with a strong sense of decay and disuse.
