Lady Jacquetta Eliot leans over the back of a white sofa to hold the collar of the black labrador dog, Stick, 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; two lighted sconces sit on either side of the neoclassical white fireplace.
