Quite an extraordinary painting dominating the room - distracting for a writer I would think - maybe added later ?? !! Otherwise I love the room - nicely captured V

Never read any of her stuff. I take it that it's a museum now. Great dokumentation.

Always good to see well stocked shelves. I like the alcove and the old typewriter.
