This anonymous watercolor sketch, “Stage Set for La Fedra”, is a design for a stage set. It features a proscenium arch with two columns and a curtain with a decorative trim. The painting is likely intended for a production of the opera *La Fedra* during the late 18th or early 19th century. The design of the set suggests a grand and classical style. It’s a useful resource for art historians who want to study the design of opera stages.
