From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Dining Room, Levens, Westmorland is a 1849 ink by Joseph Nash, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This room looks like a fancy old parlor with rich wood paneling and a carved ceiling. Two people sit at a table covered in a white cloth, talking while a dog lies nearby. A fireplace with red curtains glows in the background, and the floor is covered in a deep red rug. The walls are covered in patterned wallpaper, and the furniture is heavy and dark. The scene feels cozy but formal, like a quiet moment in a grand house. Next, check out how this was made using lithography.
Joseph Nash (17 December 1809 – 19 December 1878) was an English watercolour painter and lithographer, specialising in historical buildings. His major work was the 4-volume Mansions of England in the Olden Time, published from 1839–49.
