Parlor 

Joshua LaRock's "Parlor" presents a meticulously detailed view of an ornate interior. The painting features two figures seated in a luxuriously furnished room, bathed in the warm light of a late afternoon sun. The scene is a study in the opulence of Victorian design, with rich fabrics, intricate woodwork, and delicate chandeliers creating a sense of grandeur and refined taste. The inclusion of a grand piano and a set of chess pieces suggests intellectual pursuits as well as leisure, highlighting the refined lifestyle of the depicted figures. The artist's precise rendering of the setting captures both the beauty and the formality of this historical era.
