This drawing shows the artist's room on the top floor of a narrow three-storey house, no.3A The Terrace, Barnes, a standard 1870s structure filling in between earlier houses. The view from the window shows the Thames and a row of trees on the bank beyond. Evidence of her many talents is all around the room. Conspicuous on the walls are two embroidered panels, the field in which she excelled. The intricate cut-work table cloth in the foreground is probably also her work. Under the Victorian chaise-longue is her violin - she was a more than competent musician - and there is a painting in progress on the easel. She exhibited intermittently at the Royal Academy, 1920-38, the title of the 1920 work being 'In the Heart of the Ancient Wood'.

This watercolour remained in her possession and can be seen hanging on the wall in another of her drawings (private collection) showing her studio in the house in Acton to which she moved sometime after 1927.
The signature has been altered from her family name of Edelstein, which she changed sometime after 1938 to Palmer. With the approach of war and the events in Germany she changed her name
