Ontwerp voor twee damcommodes c. 1795 - 1800

This architectural drawing by Charles Heathcote Tatham, dated circa 1795-1800, depicts two designs for damcommodes. The detailed pen and ink drawing with watercolor highlights presents two elaborate architectural niches, each featuring a unique decorative style. The left-hand niche showcases a more classical approach, with fluted columns and a latticework element at the top. The right-hand niche has a more ornate appearance with a central decorative element, likely a sculpted floral motif, and a latticework pattern at the sides. The bottom of the drawing includes technical specifications for the construction of the damcommodes. This drawing, likely a design proposal, offers a glimpse into the architectural style of the late 18th century, influenced by neoclassical trends and an appreciation for intricate details.
