Design for Green and White Curtains with Green Fringes and a Green and Gold Pediment 1800 - 1850

This anonymous design for a set of curtains, dating from 1800-1850, is a delicate watercolor depicting three windows. The curtains are white with green polka dots, and the top of each window is adorned with a green and gold pediment. This detailed drawing, likely intended for a client, showcases the meticulous design work and the artistic skill of an unknown designer during a period marked by a renewed appreciation for refined interior decoration. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into the world of interior design during a period of significant artistic and cultural change.
