A domestic scene in which a woman, on all fours, scrubs at the hearth of a fireplace as a man creeps in behind from an open door. Beneath the title is written: 'Getting up early in a cold gloomy morning, and on running down into the breakfast room for warmth and comfort, finding chairs, table, shovel, tongues, poker and fender huddled into the middle of the room. Carpet tossed backward. - floor newly washed, windows wide open. - bees wax brush and rubber in one corner - brooms, mops and pails in another - and a dingy Drab on her knees before an empty grate'.
