Canapé after 1878

"Canapé" is a hand-colored engraving depicting a design for a settee, or small sofa, likely intended for a Parisian home. The artist, who remains anonymous, created this work after 1878, as it is from a publication of that year. The design features a simple, elegant, and traditional style, showcasing the prevailing tastes of the late 19th century. The drawing's detail and delicate coloring are characteristic of furniture design illustrations.
