The scene depicts an interior wall displaying thirty framed historical portrait prints, arranged in a grid of five rows and six columns. Each print is a monochrome depiction of a distinct historical figure, often appearing as royalty, nobility, or religious leaders in period attire, set within a black frame with a white mat. The background wall is a plain, light-colored surface. Reflections from an external light source, including vertical elements, are visible on the glass of several frames. This collection is located in the York Castle Museum in York, United Kingdom.
