- Description
An exhibition composed of watercolors illustrating more than sixty nineteenth-century interiors, from cottages to palaces. Just as proud owners today might wish to preserve the appearance of their homes on film, polaroid, or video, the householders of the last century frequently engaged artists to record their dwellings. The works in the exhibition were chosen from two private collections — one American, the other European — which together provided a unique survey of this very special genre of nineteenth-century art.
