A freestanding stove and pipe leading to the ceiling are backlit against the light-colored walls of a cabin in this vertical, black and white photograph. The panes of a window on the far wall are darkened, and both the upper and lower halves of the Dutch door are closed to the right. Light, presumably from the stove opening on the opposite side, rakes across the floor but leaves the beamed and timber ceiling veiled in shadow. A stone hearth to our left suggests a fireplace is just out of view to our left. The stove stands on a square tray and is topped with a teardrop-shaped finial.
