Small Drawing Room, Levens, Westmorland

Joseph Nash

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing room with a large ornately carved wooden fireplace at the center. The ceiling has an intricate geometric pattern and the color scheme consists of earthy browns, deep reds, and touches of green. On the left, there is a window with diamond-patterned glass, a red couch, and a table with a mandolin and sheet music. On the right, a lady in a light-colored dress is seated on a green couch reading, next to a dark wooden chest of drawers. A large portrait hangs on the wall above her, and two tall candlestands are placed near the dark open doorway on the right.
