The ad hoc use of a Windsor Chair to support a paint box,  with a lectern alongside which logically  might have been used  for transcribing drawings onto the canvas on the easel above, suggests a makeshift studio arranged in  the student lodgings. Willets  attended the Royal Academy Schools between 1934 and 1940.
