This watercolor drawing by C. G. Hawkhurst (1800-1900) is a design for a room in the Etruscan or Pompeian style. The design features an intricate decorative scheme with floral motifs, garlands, and mythological figures. The room is envisioned with a large window and a decorative scheme that would have been common in the Roman period. This drawing is a good example of how artists in the 19th century were inspired by classical styles.
