On Viginia Woolf's interpretation of Walter Sickert's painting of Ennui.

Woolf describes how she imagines the characters in the painting as an old publican, 'with his glass on the table before him and a cigar at his lips.' With Professor Dame Hermione Lee, English Literature, University of Oxford.
