Across the room, a small table is laid for tea beside green-upholstered chairs and a settee. A patterned green carpet and reflective parquet floor lead the eye toward the open doorway, where autumn foliage and a garden sculpture appear in brilliant daylight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe stretcher bears a handwritten attribution to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“R.
