Both of her hands are holding the bed. The doll bed , a miniature four posted bed with a decorative floral motive on the headboard has two pillows and a damask looking bed cover. Behind Mr. McLin, there is a window , tools, paint cans and a glimpse of the neighbor's house. Behind his wife, there is a wooden slatted screen door and a regular door.
