This is a drawing of an interior view of a waiting room with a central stove. The room has wood-paneled walls and a high ceiling, with a large black pot-bellied stove in the center. There are wooden benches along the walls, and posters and flyers are displayed. Through the window, buildings can be seen. The room is lit by a single hanging bulb, creating subtle shadows.
