Description
Photograph of the painting "Reverie" by Frank Dicksee depicting a man in his study envisioning a ghost, [s.d.]. A bearded man is pictured at right, dressed in a tuxedo and reclining in an armchair. He holds his hand to his forehead and looks to the left, where a translucent apparition of a woman can be seen with her hands to her temples. Behind this specter, a young woman in a long, lightly colored dress can be seen playing the piano, apparently unaware of the ghost.
