A woman is standing inside a house. A man is peeking in from outside the window.
Nothing really seems out of place.
What are they discussing?
Excuse me—which way is Marcel Duchamp's urinal?

People sometimes need to use bathrooms while at museums and ask for directions, like this man in the painting. But here, the man is lost in the art itself, and, as a result, he's looking not just for any urinal, but for Duchamp's famous Dada sculpture "Fountain", which is just a urinal. The original sculpture was lost in real life, and so, it's funny because it's not clear if he is looking for the sculpture because he needs to pee, or if he is trying to recover it for the museum.
