Description: Rebecca Sharp sits in an armchair at a round table with her back to the window, looking irritated. Her table holds a writing desk and round dish. It is next to an ornate fireplace, on the mantle of which are a candelabra and clock, and above which hangs a painting. On the far side of the table Rosalind and Violet Crawley are on the floor, fighting over a very large open book. Violet is pulling on a page from the book and pushing her sister away, while Rose has grabbed her sister by the hair and looks somewhat shocked. Below the illustration is printed in cursive its title, Miss Sharp in her School-room.
