Bedstee 1772 - 1779

"Bedstee" is a design for a canopy bed created by Nicolas Dupin in 1772-1779. The design depicts a four-poster bed with ornate floral patterned textiles, a canopy adorned with a decorative trim, and a detailed headboard. Dupin’s print captures the elegance and detail of fashionable interior design during the 18th century. The drawing’s fine lines and detailed shading showcase the meticulous craftsmanship of the period. The work is now located in the Rijksmuseum and shows the evolution of the design of the bed in the late 18th century, a time of change and innovation.
