A small figure travels down a path in a densely wooded forest towards the viewer. The figure is wearing a beige dress, a red hood and cape, and appears to be carrying something. A large wolf with its back to the viewer is obscured from the figure behind a formation of rocks and tree trunks.
In this black and white photograph, a woman sits in an upholstered arm chair, her feet curled beneath her body. She extends both of her arms onto the arms of the chair. She wears a black jacket and white shirt. The chair sits in the corner of a worn room, and behind the chair a lamp rises above the woman’s head, crowned with a mirrored, fringed lamp shade.

This painting looks out onto the sea through two open windows. It is a sunny day, and a dark-hulled, double-masted ship is seen through the left window. Through the right window, we see a dock and a yellow-orange building. Inside the windows there is a table laid with a teacup, two waterglasses, a spoon, a knife, a full basket, a pitcher with flowers, a small dish with a pat of butter, and the corner of a newspaper at the lower right of the canvas. The table is covered with a white tablecloth and to its left is a red wooden chair. To the left of the chair is what looks like part of a door with four panes of glass represented. It is signed in the lower left of the canvas, along a diagonal representing part of the door, "Maurice Freedman."
