Wall Elevation for an Antechamber or Salon
Sheet depicts a wall with three shallow niches. The middle niche is larger than the side niches. In each niche, a pink sofa is placed under/against a framed green panel with tied-back pink curtain on either side. In front of the pilasters separating the niches, stand statues of pairs of putti holding a candle, elevated on round bases. Above, on the pilasters, portrait medallions are suspended.
