A moody gelatin silver (black-and-white) print of a living room corner subtly lit by a large window on the right side. The corner is offset slightly to the right of the photograph, which includes a large portion of the paneled floor in the foreground. The high, two-toned walls feature a light color in the upper third with walnut below, divided by a simple wood hanging rail. Varnished walnut sliding doors -punctuate the wall on the center-left. A lone tufted stool, decorated with geometric designs, sits in the middle of the floor space. A cushioned recliner sofa holds numerous tossed pillows, above which are three wall-mounted prints. Diagonally kitty-corner to the sofa is a horizontal, shelved cabinet in varnished walnut, on top of which rests a light-colored vase with flowers. A large freestanding cone speaker and antenna rests on the opposite end of the cabinet containing the radio set; assorted bric-à-brac fill the shelves. Along the bottom border, 'interiors' is stamped in all capitol letters, next to which is handwritten 'Living rooms - France' - likely in pencil.

A moody gelatin silver (black-and-white) print of a room crowded with furnishings along its permeter. From left to right, the photograph shows the corner of a desk with a flower vase and chair, a tall, dark cabinet, a radio set, a corner bookshelf, a thick-cushioned sofa bed with pillows, and the sliver of a curtained window. The corner of a table finishes the scene, along with a decorative woven rug which can partially be seen on the floor. An oversized indoor loop radio antenna -- which resembles a wagon wheel in shape -- rests on the floor near the radio set. Above the radio is a vertical box lamp, mounted in the corner where the walls and ceilings intersect, framed with dark panels and opaque glass. The visible wall panels are light in color, presumably of exotic wood. Along the bottom border, 'interiors' is stamped in all capitol letters, next to which is handwritten 'Living rooms - France' - likely in pencil.

The theme of this richly colored gouache and ink drawing entitled “The Enchanted Isle of Beautiful Sounds” is communicated via a scene set in a lush, fantastical, eden-like, nature-filled landscape in which a lovely bare-breasted young female figure holding a lyre/harp is surrounded by various exotic birds, jumping fish, a panther, a rabbit, and deer. Overall it appears like a theatrical set in which the elements of land, water, sky, vegetation, human and animal figures are highly stylized, rendered flatly, with defined outlines. The ornamental details, and general impression is reminiscent of Eastern paintings. The figure wears a long floral skirt with an elaborate design, sitting low on her hips. A red shawl drapes over her right shoulder, sweeps behind her back and is caught up again in the crook of her left elbow like a sinuous wave, echoing the curve of the lyre which extends from her left hip up to her left hand. Her hair appears to be held by a decorative band around her forehead. She wears little black slippers. Her right hand is pointing to two deer looking up to her, if she was commanding them “sit/stay.” (The deer are in silhouetted, side by side; the one in the foreground is golden brown and overlaps the partially hidden one that is black.) Further to viewer’s left is a black rabbit sitting just behind/between the deer. A third deer is partially visible behind a knoll. Further to the very left is a golden tree with curving branches and lush foliage. Moving to (viewer’s) right of the figure, a black panther is outstretched at the woman’s feet. His two front paws and a portion of his hind and tail are visible on either side of her, the rest obscured by (behind) her skirt. skirt. Two tall-legged birds with long bills and black markings at the wings/neck/head (herons?) are to further to viewer’s right. The figure and animals are on hilly land depicted in gold with small flowers growing here and there. Behind the figure is a tall rounded amorphous shape which looks like a mountain or giant rock in a pale jade green color (celadon.) It is taller than she is and wider, and serves like theatrical backlighting around her and the elements near her. The sky behind and above the mountain is black topped by a canopy of pink stylized clouds that extend all across the drawing, like a valence or curtain across the top of a stage set. Throughout the scene are various exotic birds in flight, seen through and against leafy vines hanging from above. At the lower part of the scene fish are jumping out from a body of water with stylized undulating waves with little clumps of reeds protruding here and there. There is a floral/leafy patterned border going all around the rectangular drawing like a picture frame. The use of black in the sky and in some of the animals in contrast to the soft colors of jade, pink and cream, and the brightness of the “gold” areas contributes to the sense of mystery, drama and “enchantment” of this scene.

A drawing, rendering of door wall elevation of dining room created using graphite and colored crayon on tracing paper (used for several iterations). The rectangular shape of the wall on a horizontal orientation with two double doors possessing eight nature-like panels and blue handles includes a roof design drawn of three horizontally placed curves that grow in pitch. Located between the double doors is a sculpture resting on a pedestal constructed of a short wrought iron fluted column. To the right and left of the double doors are wrought iron U-formed pedestals with showcases for two objects balancing the design and overlap a gridded design on the wall. Iron work accents adorn the design at edges at both walls, where the wall meets the roof and possibly around the double doors. The photograph captures the drawing with a white border.
