Description
Photograph of the painting "For Fifty Years" by Sadler, depicting an elderly man offering his arm to an elderly woman, [s.d.]. The woman sits slightly to the right of center, looking towards the viewer. The man stands to the right of her, and presents his crooked arm to help her from her seat, which she takes. In the background, a second man can be seen through the parlour doorway, waiting at a supper table. The rest of the scene is rendered in intense detail, down to the brocade patterns on a second chair to the left, and the room's reflection in a mirror, also at left.
