content: In this view, the circular dining room is dominated by two massive marble columns terminating in bronze capitals, and two large crystal and silver chandeliers. The ceiling is painted to resemble a cloudy sky; a frieze below is decorated with a series of putti holding garlands of leaves. Glass stars adorn the blue curtains, chimney surround overmantle mirror, creating an opulent setting for three ladies dressed in diaphanous gowns.
