Elevation of a paneled interior decorated with painted landscapes and coves with cartouches and flowers 1830 - 1897

This watercolor design by Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise, dated between 1830 and 1897, showcases a decorative panel for a room's interior. The artwork, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, features three sections depicting a scenic landscape with trees, a cloudy sky, and a distant horizon, creating a serene atmosphere. The detailed, ornate framing is reminiscent of 19th-century interior design and highlights the decorative function of this artistic endeavor.
