Samuel Rayner painted this watercolour around 1855. It shows a fancy dressing room done in soft blues and whites—typical of French boudoirs back then. Rayner used watercolour to capture the room’s elegant, airy feel. The room’s details suggest a wealthy owner who valued the latest fashion. The light color scheme was a popular choice for these private spaces in the 1850s. Check out more works by Samuel Rayner at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
