DescriptionTwo men sit beside a large wooden desk. The man on the right has a beard and holds a sheet of paper. The man on the left has a mustache and sits in a swivel chair. He holds eyeglasses in his hand. Both men wear suits. On the desk are a hat, a bell, ink bottles, a wicker file basket, and an apparatus for stamping or embossing documents. A framed print, a composite portrait of a large number of men, hangs on the wall. A calendar hangs near a window. A large card filing cabinet is at the left. A printed carpet is on the floor. A lamp with a shade and electric light bulbs is over the desk. A large light fixture, apparently for gaslight, is in the left foreground.
