The image shows a bedroom with a red four-poster bed in the center. The bed has a red canopy with tassels along the bottom edge and red curtains hanging down on all four sides. The bed frame is not visible. To the left of the bed is a small wooden chest with a white object on top. To the right of the bed is a wooden dresser and what appears to be a wooden folding screen. The room has white walls and a white ceiling with exposed dark wooden beams. There are two windows on either side of the bed, each with a decorative metal grate over it. The floor is made of light-colored hardwood planks. The overall style of the room appears to be medieval or Tudor-style. The room, from the Hart House, Ipswich, Massachusetts.
