I absolutely adore the decoration of early 19th century homes, and could effortlessly spend hours at this particular exhibition. Alas, it is<br />at the opposite end of the country, sigh. The Wilhelm Bendz painting particularly speaks to me. Those colors, the arrangement of furniture, the figures pondering on whatever is worthy of being pondered. It is all too much. I must at least purchase the catalog for a small flavor of the whole.LizaEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324813392045814368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-4057267715300616632011-04-10T22:21:32.110-04:002011-04-10T22:21:32.110-04:00Mad I am always for interior paintings.

I read the Dilettante's post re the wood carving master first this morning, then joined your readers when suddenly I spied that squirrel sitting on the arm of a chair in "Interior With Young Woman..." and thought, Ah how wonderful to have a wooden squirrel carved as part of the chair like that!
