Lady Jacquetta Eliot leans over the back of a white sofa in the morning room of Port Eliot, the family home of Lord Peregrine Eliot, 10th Earl of St Germans. The walls are covered in dark red damask; the white sofa holds yellow throw pillows; the neoclassical white fireplace holds an antique clock; an oil portrait hangs on the back wall next to a lacquer screen and a chest of drawers.
