Design for Pink and White Curtains with Green Fringes, and Gold and White Pediments 1815 - 1825

This anonymous watercolor design from the early 19th century depicts two elaborate window treatments, each with a different arrangement of the pink and white patterned fabric. The artist has used a combination of watercolor washes and pen and ink to render the details of the drapery, including the green fringes and gold pediments. The curtains are drawn to reveal the glimpse of a window, suggesting a domestic setting, perhaps a drawing-room or a boudoir. This design highlights the trend towards more intricate and luxurious window dressings that was popular in the early 19th century. The piece is a valuable record of interior design taste during the Regency period and can be used to explore the history of design trends.
