Dining Hall, Asylum
A wide interior shows a long dining hall with rows of women in white caps and dark dresses seated at wooden tables on both sides. Standing figures in the center aisle and a birdcage-like structure at left add detail, with skylights overhead.
Look closer: A small inscription and artist's credit sit in the lower margin beneath the image.
