A portrait of widow Mrs. A. T. Stewart living in a near-deserted marble mansion on Fifth Avenue. Her daily routine is simple and orderly, she manages business affairs and pensioners, her hair is brushed for an hour, and she alternates between moments of cheer and deep despondency in a life of refined isolation.
