DescriptionTwo rocking chairs and a wicker armchair are situated in the corner of a room with large windows looking out on what appears to be a lake. Oriental-style rugs are on the floor. A vase and other ceramics are on a cabinet in the corner. A lamp, evidently a kerosene lamp, and a vase of flowers are on a table covered with a tablecloth.

NotesSubject Note: Since many photographs in this group were taken at the Cheney cottage in Marlborough, Connecticut, it is possible that this photograph depicts the interior of that cottage. However, there is no clear evidence to suggest that this is the case. (Finlay 11/14/2013)
