  • Description
  • A detective wearing a three piece suit and carrying a fedora hat points to wooden fruit basket filled with trash in an old fashioned kitchen. A poker[?] has been thrust into the basket, and a wooden implement, perhaps a hoe, leans in front of it. The kitchen has a freestanding wood or coal-burning stove with a large stove pipe. It stands in front of a bricked-up fireplace with a mantelpiece. Brushes and an oil or kerosene lamp stand on top of the mantel and pots and pans hang below. A date of ca. 1939-1950 is based on clothing style.
