Portrait by William Orpenimage: The interior of a cellar furnished to resemble a study. There are chairs, a desk, a rug, a map on the wall, lamps and a waste-paper basket. Sunlight shines in through the window at the top of the room casting a shadows from the objects around the room. There is an officer perched on the edge of the desk, and another seated in a wooden armchair; both look out towards the viewer.Contributed by:
