Interior (from McGuire Scrapbook)

The drawing "Interior (from McGuire Scrapbook)" by James McNeill Whistler depicts a woman seated in a chair to the right of a fireplace. The woman wears a long dress and has her hands in her lap. The chair has a high back with carved details and upholstered seat and back. To the left of the woman is a table with turned legs and a small object on top. The fireplace is large with a carved surround and mantel, featuring a central panel with a portrait. The mantel is supported by two columns. The fireplace opening has a curved top and contains ashes and embers. The wall behind the fireplace has raised rectangular panels. The floor appears to be made of stone or tile. The overall scene is rendered in black and white.
