DescriptionView of Stephen Pierson Cheney sitting on a window seat. He is probably in the library at the Horace Bushnell Cheney house, at 78 Forest Street in South Manchester. He is leaning back against the wall, on a pillow, and looking out the window to his right, which is just off camera. Only the curtain is visible. Stephen is wearing a jacket and tie, and has his hands folded in his lap. There is a framed picture of a girl, a long slender item, and a mirror, all hanging on the wall above his head. Another window can be seen in the background on the left.
