The Pride of the Village

Oil painting of a man sitting at a table writing in a book; he is balding and wearing a black jacket with a white shirt and tan pants. A woman in a white dress sits to the left on a chair with pillows; she looks down at the man's hand writing. A second woman wearing orange and black stands behind her; she looks down at the seated woman's hand. A black cat sits on the floor. There is an ornate wooden cabinet, a fireplace with a mantle on which a mask hangs, and a large ornate window on the right with a view of trees and a white house. The painting is titled "The Pride of the Village" by Henry Peters Gray.
