This ornate, white-painted mirror, designed by Robert Adam in 1765, is a prime example of the Neoclassical style. Adam, a leading architect of the 18th century, is known for his elegant and restrained designs that drew inspiration from classical antiquity. The mirror's intricately carved frame features a pediment, a decorative element that was commonly used in classical architecture. The mirror, originally located at Croome Court in Worcestershire, is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York.
