Design for a ceiling with painted decoration 1830 - 1897

Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise’s “Design for a ceiling with painted decoration” is a drawing from 1830-1897. It features a delicate, ornate design that is typical of Rococo architecture. The drawing highlights elaborate floral patterns, with four circular medallions that feature profiles of individuals, a design element common in the Rococo period, and a central circular motif, all outlined in gold. This drawing, now held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the Rococo style and is a beautiful example of architectural design.
