Model Mary Jane Russell reclining in a walnut-framed four-poster bed canopied in green cotton batiste gauze, with a blue and white gingham bedspread and sheets. Behind the bed, the wall is clad in trellis-patterned wallpaper. The floor is voered in a large blue fringed rug embroidered with black flowers. Below the window next to the bed is an 18th-Century French schoolmaster's desk, on which is a brass bouillotte lamp, a crystal ball clock, a small grouping of books, and an arrangement of purple flowers. A wicker wastebasket sits beneath the desk. Mary Jane Russell wears a high-waisted, off-the-shoulder, ribbon-sashed, embroidered white cotton batiste nightgown by Iris.
