About this work

This watercolor shows a living room scene from 1909. It's a snapshot of a middle-class home, with an old table pushed aside for a new piano. You can spot updates like cozy corner seats and an Art Nouveau fireplace. The artist mixes old and new things here. The seats use legs from older furniture. The fireplace has a mix of old marble and modern tile. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
