Behind the chair is a young soldier in hiding. Four rather plain-looking women are heading towards the lures on the chair, while two prettier women in the foreground have their backs to their would-be swain and any potential kissing under the mistletoe. The soldier may be intended to be a self-portrait and the ballroom may be in Auckland. There are large pictures on the walls, chairs and couches against the far wall, a grand piano and the chair in the centre along with a chaise-longue.
