Design for a Windowed Wall with Decorative Panels 1730 - 1770

This anonymous design for a windowed wall with decorative panels from the 18th century is a testament to the Rococo style’s influence on interior design. The drawing showcases a wall with three windows, each framed by elaborate moldings and surmounted by a decorative panel. These panels depict pastoral landscapes with a playful touch of whimsy - a bouquet of flowers, a swag of drapery and birds in flight. The meticulous detail of the drawing provides a glimpse into the luxurious and elegant interiors favored by the European aristocracy of the time.
