This design for a stairway in the Chateau d'Ognon, located in Oise, France, was created between 1850 and 1900 by Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise. The delicate, intricate drawing features a central rectangular panel framed by an elaborate motif of stylized scrolls and leaves, suggestive of a traditional, yet refined, French aesthetic. The design showcases Lachaise's ability to translate architectural elements into elegant decorative schemes. The drawing is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
