Interieur van een biljartkamer c. 1830 - 1850

Firma Feuchère made this drawing, 'Interior of a Billiard Room', with graphite, and it presents us with an under-drawing of a Billiard Room. The image provides an insight into the social and cultural life of the upper classes, likely in 19th-century Europe, where billiard rooms were spaces for leisure, entertainment, and social interaction. The architectural details, such as the columns, arches, and ornate decorations, suggest a culture that values aesthetic refinement and social hierarchy. The sketch invites reflection on the social rituals, gender roles, and power dynamics that shaped the spaces inhabited by the elite. To gain a deeper understanding, scholars might consult architectural treatises, social histories, and visual archives. This helps reveal the social contexts that shaped the creation and reception of this interior design.
