Three couples in the period costume in the west end of the library. A man stands by while a woman who is seated at the writing desk and filing cabinet (bureau plat et cartonnier), attributed to Etienne Doirat, are from 1720 to 1732. On the left is another couple, with a woman seated on a settee and a man standing behind it. In the background a third couple examine an oversized book. The settee and chairs belong to the set of two settees and ten chairs whose upholstery covers were woven at Gobelins Manufactory, Paris, probably under the supervision of Jacques Neilson (1714-1788), after design by François Boucher (1703-1770) and Jean-Baptiste Oudry (1733-1755). The covers were woven circa 1779, and the frames are nineteenth century. The screen on the right is a six-panel folding screen (paravent) made at the Savonnerie Manufactory, Chaillot workshop, Paris, after designs by Alexandre-François Desportes (1661-1743), made between 1719 and 1784; the frame is of a later date. On the wall on the right is a Beauvais tapestry, "La Pipée aux Oiseaux (The Bird Catchers)." Label accompanying photograph in album reads "HEH 32a West end of Library room in Huntington Art Gallery. Beauvais tapestry. Louis XV and Louis XVI furniture; carpet Louis XIV period." Another copy of this image has MS notes identifying the people (from left to right): Ted Koch (?), Fran Evans, Bob Wright, Norda Stokes (?), Don Vest (?), and Nell Webb.
