Books and a wire basket are on the desk. At the left, a woman is seated at another desk, writing. A radiator is beneath the window in the background. A grille, evidently for central heating, is in the wall above. An electric light fixture hangs from the ceiling. Through an open door at the right, another man is visible, seated at a desk.
