This watercolor design by Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise, created between 1877 and 1884, is a detailed plan for a domed ceiling in Mme Païva’s Château at Neudeck. The design features intricate floral patterns, delicate lines, and a combination of gold, purple, and brown tones, creating a visually striking and luxurious aesthetic. The artwork is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Lachaise's architectural drawing offers a glimpse into the grandeur of the Château and the artistic vision for its interior design.
