Plan of a Room 1800 - 1850

This anonymous watercolor drawing, created sometime between 1800 and 1850, depicts a floor plan of a room, possibly a dining room or a parlor. The artist utilizes a delicate wash of pale pink and gray hues to denote different furniture and architectural elements. The plan includes details like a large “circular table” and a labeled “sofa,” suggesting the furniture arrangement was carefully planned. Now located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this drawing provides a fascinating glimpse into the interior design and domestic spaces of the early 19th century.
