Interior of kitchen. is a 12 by James Lambert senior, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a big, empty kitchen with high wooden beams across the ceiling. A huge stone fireplace takes up one wall, with a small fire burning inside. The walls are plain brick, and there’s a large arched doorway on the right. The drawing looks simple but careful, with lots of thin lines marking every detail. The notes say this was drawn in 1776, showing how kitchens were built back then. The artist measured everything, like the fireplace being 20 feet wide. Want to see more old drawings like this?
