A black and white photograph of a light flooded living room, its large windows covered with semi-transparent curtains. The carpet sports a flamboyant floral design. A girl who turns her back to the beholder is sitting at a piano in the left half of the picture. A poodle in a chair and a bird in a cage sit on the sides of the piano. On the far right side of the picture a woman, presumably the girl's mother, rests on a couch, a puppy on her lap.
