DescriptionView of a carpeted room with light-colored walls and a floral wallpaper border along the ceiling. Several framed photos hang on the walls. There is a pile of books on a table in the foreground. A chair sits behind it, and a lounge chair behind that. In the back left corner a door stands open, showing another room beyond. The doorway is mostly covered by a curtain that hands from a curtain rod above the opening. On the right wall is a large fireplace. Various pictures and knick knacks sit on the mantel. A large, framed image of a woodland scene hangs above it and is flanked by rifles. A hat hangs just above the picture. The room is at Sheffield Scientific School, a school of Yale College.
