This wood panel, carved by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin, is one of many that were designed to adorn the Palace of Westminster in London, built in the mid-19th century. Pugin, a leading figure in the Gothic Revival movement, was known for his detailed and historically inspired designs. This panel, carved with vertical ribs and a decorative border, exemplifies his meticulous attention to detail and his commitment to reviving traditional craft techniques. The panel, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Pugin's influence on Victorian architecture and design.
