This drawing, "Design for a Ceiling" by James Wyatt, is a meticulously detailed design for a ceiling, dated from 1766 to 1813. The design features an oval central motif in a soft green hue, surrounded by a complex pattern of interlocking arches, garlands, and cherubs. The overall aesthetic is Neoclassical, reflecting a revival of classical styles that was popular in the late 18th century. This design is an example of Wyatt’s talents as an architect and demonstrates the elegance and sophistication of Neoclassical decoration.
