Interior of an Exotic Palace is a 1867 graphite by Hercules Brabazon Brabazon, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a fancy room with tall ceilings and ornate details. The artist used a mix of graphite, chalks, and gouache to create the scene. It's interesting that the artist, Brabazon, was able to create such a detailed and elaborate space using these simple materials. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the use of gouache.
Hercules Brabazon Brabazon (born Hercules Brabazon Sharpe; 27 November 1821 – 14 May 1906) was an English artist, accomplished in Turner-manner watercolours.
