A large room filled with what the text describes as souvenirs from Dantan's travels, pictures given to him by his friends, and small statuettes. The sculptor is seated at a small trestle with a bozzetto (a sketch or conception), talking to a visitor or servant. Some tools are visible through a door at the right to his workshop.
