Description:

A woman stands in the middle of a richly decorated room, where movers are beginning to take tapestries and paintings off the walls. She smiles at a furniture dealer who is leaning on a small bookcase, watching her pensively with a pencil to his mouth.

The caption reads in the original French: Les marchands entrèrent dans ce sanctuaire et y inventorièrent tout.

Caption based on Katharine Prescott Wormeley’s translation from A Daughter of Eve. Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1895.
