DescriptionThe arched doors and windows of a large hall are draped with evergreen garlands. A Christmas wreath hangs on the wall and there appear to be additional greens or potted plates along the wall above a long row of benches draped with patterned fabric. Curtains hang in an arched opening at the left, beside what appears to be a stage. Christmas trees line the steps leading up to the stage. The ceiling has a prominent molding featuring brackets.
