Conservatories were intended to allow one to live with nature while providing a place to display and experiment with horticultural and other emerging sciences of the age. Inside this conservatory a doe sits on an ornate “camelback” sofa, symbolizing elegance and delicacy, waiting properly alone for an undetermined party. The tea setting untouched, the doe waits nervously, however there are no doors to this conservatory. The taxidermied doe in an anthropomorphic position changes the discourse from zoological study to that of individual psychology and sociology. The scenario uses the allusion of a social situation to paint an intimate but deeply troubled psychological portrait.
