Dressed in a long-sleeved, dark colored blouse and long, dark skirt, Dr. Killeen is seated at a cluttered roll-top desk, reading a letter. The wall beside the desk is covered with numerous photographs. Many of these are of women. A weekly calendar, advertising “Spensley & Spensley Family Mortgages and Municipal Bonds,” is also attached to the wall. A bouquet of flowers is visible on a bookcase placed next to the wall of photographs. Other flower bouquets, a green plant, and many knickknacks have been placed on shelves. A wicker chair is placed near the desk. The number “53” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “4” is written in the upper left corner.
