Design for the Decoration of the Drawing Room at Eastnor Castle, Hertfordshire 1845 - 1855

John Gregory Crace's watercolor design for the drawing room at Eastnor Castle in Hertfordshire, England, showcases his mastery of the Gothic Revival style. Executed between 1845 and 1855, the design captures the grandeur of the room with its intricately detailed vaulted ceiling, ornately carved stonework, and rich furnishings. The use of vibrant colors, including deep reds and blues, evokes a sense of warmth and opulence. The design is a testament to the popularity of the Gothic Revival style in the mid-19th century.
