This detailed drawing by Italian artist Leonardo Marini, titled "Design for a Palace Interior" is an excellent example of Rococo style. The drawing depicts a section of a palace interior, featuring elaborate decorative elements like floral garlands, swags, and a reclining nude figure. The drawing, which is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serves as a design for a wall panel, with delicate detailing and a harmonious arrangement of colors. The overall effect evokes an opulent and refined atmosphere, a signature of the Rococo style that was prevalent in the 18th century.
