Design for Ceiling, Château de Cangé 1850 - 1900

This watercolor design by Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise is a detailed plan for the ceiling of Château de Cangé, a historic building located in France. Created between 1850-1900, the design features elaborate floral motifs, scrolls, and a central oval shape surrounded by a gilded frame. The delicate brushwork and intricate detail of this design showcase the artist's skill in decorative arts and his ability to capture the elegance of the Rococo style. This piece is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
