In the foreground stands a rude armchair with a rush bottom, on which are piled various articles of clothing and a workman’s basket. Near the chair, on the right, lies a spotted dog asleep, and beyond, on the hearth of a hooded fireplace, gleams the ruddy flame of a small fire.
Signed at the lower left, Josef Israëls.
