Figure descriptions
Sickroom scene depicting an embrace between a woman dressed in black and a young bed-ridden
woman. The young woman’s eyes are
closed and the elder woman sits on the edge of her bed, holding her upper body up
with one arm. The young woman’s head rests on the
elder woman’s bosom. There are small tables on either side of the bed: a small vase
with flowers sits on the left-side table, and a
water jug sits on the right-side table. A framed piece of art that appears to be a
portrait hangs above the bed. There is a wooden
chair at the left side of the bed, where the elder woman was formerly seated. Her
dress drapes over the chair. On the far side of
the bed, the head of a third figure is partially seen. This figure is kneeling and
resting their head on the bed. 1/2-page
illustration contained within a medium weight single-ruled border.
