Generated explanation

The illustration shows a decorative gabled facade with paired central windows, narrow windows on either side, and a small window in the gable. Callouts identify a pane as an individual area of glass and the sash as the framework holding the glass panes. A muntin separates panes within a sash, while a mullion separates the two central windows. A sill is identified at the base of the right-hand window. The drawing explains window terminology without depicting defects.
