This design by Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise for the painted decoration of a ceiling, dating from 1830 - 1897, features a central framed vignette of a cherub holding a wreath and a trumpet, as well as a delicate monogram encircled by a laurel wreath at the bottom of the composition. The design is framed by decorative borders that showcase a grid pattern and intricate decorative elements, drawing inspiration from classical and neoclassical traditions. The design utilizes a blend of light washes and delicate lines to create a visually harmonious and elegant ceiling decoration. This design was intended for a private residence and exemplifies the Rococo Revival style, a trend that was popular in the 19th century.
