Objects for a Leisure Hour conveys the sense of recent human presence through the smouldering pipe resting on the edge of the table, the used matches and the half-eaten biscuit and its crumbs. The sense of fleeting time is also conveyed through the folded-up newspaper in the middle-ground, with its date of publication visible.
