The Choice of a Model

Eugene Andre Champollion, after Mariano Fortuny Marsal

National Gallery of Art

This is a detailed illustration of an ornate and luxurious interior. The room features rich decorations on the walls and ceilings, including moldings, sculptures, and carvings. A classical nude sculpture is displayed on a pedestal in the background, near large columns. The ceiling is adorned with a mural or fresco, and the floor is made of polished tiles. Additional ornate elements like mirrors and tapestries enhance the grandeur of the space. Intricate line work is used to depict the richness of the interior.
