About this work

This watercolor shows a cozy room corner with a fireplace as its centerpiece. Above the mantel hangs a small painted scene of people in a landscape. The walls are plain but framed by a dark wood floor and a simple table lamp. Gold trim and a carved shelf add a touch of elegance. The fireplace has a dark, empty grate and a shelf above it holding a single object. The artist used soft watercolor washes to keep the scene calm and quiet. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
