Stencilled Ballroom c. 1936

Ray Holden's "Stencilled Ballroom" (c. 1936) is a watercolor drawing that captures the intricate details of a stenciled wall design. The artwork showcases a fireplace surrounded by elaborate geometric and floral patterns. The use of watercolor highlights the delicate nature of the stenciling, demonstrating the artist's keen eye for detail. This work, reminiscent of the "stenciled" interior design trend popular in the 18th century, would have been appreciated by a wide audience, specifically those interested in historical design and decorative arts.
