Can you feel the energy of this room? Coming from the South, I can't count the number of times I've seen versions of this very picture. A ladies church group gather in the reverend's house for a bible study. The somber expressions, the hopeful yet expectant glances of what message is to come. All while "dressed to the nines" in their Sunday best and hands neatly placed. Their uprightness in the straight back chairs exemplify the strictness of the religion, and the lines from the bottom of the window sills give a nice horizontal frame. The posture of the women, the lamp, and the vertical windows allow for an erect line position, which may be interpreted also as an assertion of worship towards the heavens.
