The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a red wall with two large windows. The windows have white columns and are arched at the top. They are covered with white sheer curtains and red curtains that are pulled open. The red curtains have tassels hanging from them and are held back by ornate dark wood pieces attached to the wall. Above the windows is a dark wood piece with gold accents and four lights. On either side of the windows are white walls with gold sconces. A white bust sits on a black pedestal in front of the windows. The ceiling is white with a decorative border. The image is titled "Window Cornice" and is by John Jelliff.
