A photograph shows a tea green room with decorated marble flooring. The back wall is half-covered with jade wood panelling, and against it sit seven wood-backed, red-cushioned seats. Beside them is a black grand piano. The ceiling is an ornate stone carving and the door to the room is surrounded by a simple lead-lined, stained glass design. The image would be an embodiment of affluence, except the fabric of the room and all the furniture in it is in a process of decay. The marble floor is marked and most of the chairs are without their backboards. The piano is missing parts of its shiny black casing. The paint at the bottom of the walls is scuffed and worn, and most of the elaborate ceiling stonework has fallen away, leaving a gaping green hole at its centre.
The photograph was taken by Michael Eastman and is titled, Music Room, Havana.
