Stairway and Hall, Hotel Del Coronado 1935 - 1942

Perkins Harnly's watercolor on paper, "Stairway and Hall, Hotel Del Coronado", depicts a grand interior space of the famous hotel, a prominent landmark in San Diego, California. Completed between 1935 and 1942, the artwork captures the elaborate design of the hotel's hall, featuring a sweeping staircase, ornate furniture, and intricate patterned wallpaper. The presence of a vacuum cleaner and scattered petals adds a playful touch, suggesting the ongoing bustle and activity of a busy hotel environment.
