The living room of Actress Audrey Hepburn's residence, "La Plaisible", in Tolochenaz, Switzerland. A pair of couches in the foreground are upholstered in yellow. A 17th-Century English writing desk sits below a small painting of a girl in a yellow dress by an unidentified Mexican artist, and holds a collection of silver boxes and a photograph of Audrey Hepburn's grandfather Aarnoud van Heemstra (who was then Governor of Suriname). At the far end of the room, a low white table is surrounded by a white sofa and a pair of white armchairs. A short row of bookshelves is built into the corner wall leading to the window, under which sits a small bronze sculpture by Honore Daumier (one of his series of "Ratapoil" figurines). Bouquets of flowers sit on the low table at the end of the room, and on a side table in the near foreground.
