Eighteenth-century English artists often documented grand houses and their contents, and Ellen L. Clacy’s watercolor Marigold's: The China Closet, Knole (ca. 1880) fits that tradition. The delicate render of shelves stacked with porcelain offers a quiet glimpse into a private room at Knole, a historic manor in Kent. If you’ve walked past a stately home’s display of antique plates, this image will feel familiar. Tap to zoom in on the teacups and tureens crowding the shelves.
