This carved wood panel, created by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin for the Palace of Westminster in London between 1842 and 1852, exemplifies the Gothic Revival style that was popular in the 19th century. Pugin, a prominent architect and designer, is known for his detailed and intricate designs, drawing inspiration from medieval architecture. This panel, with its vertical ribs and carved ornamentation, reflects the Gothic style's emphasis on craftsmanship and decorative detail. It is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
