A monochromatic engraving of Union Art Gallery. On either side of the central scene are statues of bare breasted women personifying (left) painting and (right) sculpture. In between, ladies and gentlemen gaze at art work hung salon style, covering every available space on the walls. A central skylight allows light to enter into the gallery. The print has been mounted to a sheet of paper and a black line frames it in.
