This is a dark, black and white drawing of the interior of a room. In the foreground is a table with a white saucer, silverware, white mug, and glass on top. On the other side of the table is a chair. A smaller table is visible behind the chair in the background of the drawing with a white object on it. The drawing is on medium thick, smooth white wove paper. There are very visible brush strokes across the drawing, and the paper is crinkled from moisture.

In this print we see a woman in a chair sitting at table. The table is in the foreground and the woman sits behind it. She is wearing a light colored dress and has shoulder length hair and the print is truncated above her eyes so we do not see the top of her head. Four saucers, two mugs, a knife, and coffee pot sit atop table. Drawing is on medium thick, smooth white wove paper. There are very visible brush strokes across the drawing.
