Udkast til vægdekoration med halvrunde felter over to døre, på blå vægge 1743 - 1809

"Udkast til vægdekoration med halvrunde felter over to døre, på blå vægge" is a design by Nicolai Abildgaard, completed sometime between 1743 and 1809. It is a detailed architectural drawing that depicts a wall design for a room, likely a grand hall or a drawing room, with two sets of double doors. Each door is topped by a semi-circular arch containing a decorative motif, one with a landscape and cloud formation and the other featuring a pair of peacocks on a pedestal. The blue walls, gold-accented trim and pale yellow doors reflect the elegant tastes of the era. This drawing demonstrates Abildgaard’s talent for decorative and architectural design, and it offers insight into the interior design trends of the late 18th century.
