In this black and white photograph, a woman sits in an upholstered arm chair, her feet curled beneath her body. She extends both of her arms onto the arms of the chair. She wears a black jacket and white shirt. The chair sits in the corner of a worn room, and behind the chair a lamp rises above the woman’s head, crowned with a mirrored, fringed lamp shade.
