Drawing Room at Mar Lodge, Parish of Craithe and Braemar, Aberdeenshire 1855 - 1865

This anonymous watercolor, "Drawing Room at Mar Lodge", depicts the interior of a lavish Victorian drawing room. The room is filled with ornate furniture, including a grand piano, numerous armchairs, and a large bay window overlooking a verdant landscape. The walls are adorned with taxidermied stags' heads, a testament to the owner's passion for hunting. The meticulously detailed interior reflects the opulence and leisure of the Victorian era. The artwork, dated between 1855-1865, offers a glimpse into the lifestyle of the wealthy elite during this period. It is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
