Interior of Westminster Hall 1885 - 1916

Tony Beltrand's etching "Interior of Westminster Hall" (1885-1916) captures the grandeur of the historic hall in London. This detailed drawing showcases the hall's intricate timber roof and large stained glass window, creating a sense of space and awe. The hall's long, narrow proportions are emphasized by the perspective, while the few figures scattered across the floor add a sense of scale and isolation. This print, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, exemplifies the artistic fascination with architectural subjects in the late 19th century.
