Old Maid's Hall

A young woman, Jessie Underwood, reclining supported on one elbow on a fur rug in front of a piano. In front of her lying on the rug is a cat. Light comes in through a window with a partially drawn shade. On the right is a bookcase crowded with books, and a stand with shelves holding periodicals next to it. A framed print (J.F. Herring's Three Pharaoh's Horses) hangs on the wall above the piano.
