This photograph records a mural titled *Rest* by the American painter Charles Sprague Pearce, one of the decorative paintings made for the Library of Congress's Thomas Jefferson Building, which opened in 1897. The building's interiors were filled with work by American painters and sculptors meant to express learning, the arts, and national ideals, and Pearce, who spent much of his career in France, was among the artists invited to contribute. The caption card gives no date, and its details are unverified, so the exact year and the mural's precise location in the building are not confirmed here.
