The interior of a lounge. A young woman stands at the centre in the foreground. She is wearing a two-piece crinoline dress and has her dark hair pinned back and covered with a small lace cap. Leaning against a mantlepiece, she is looking pensively at her reflection in the large, ornate mirror above the fireplace. Behind her, towards the right, a man is sitting on an armchair and watching her. He is leaning on the backrest with his arms crossed on top of it and watching the woman. His dark hair is longish, and he has a small moustache. Behind him on the wall hangs a full figure portrait of a lady with a Chinese vase standing in front of it.
