Three good-looking young women sit before a large fire, pulling up their petticoats to warm their legs. The woman on the left has an open book inscribed 'Matrimony - To have and to hold' and appears to be reading to the others. A cat plays with a mouse (right). The wall-paper and carpet and the striped backs of the three chairs complete the design.
