label: Description
content: The boldly patterned wallpaper, green draperies and matching upholstered furniture shown in this interior impart an air of masculinity to the room. While the proportions of the windows at left would be suited to a room intended for formal receptions, the desk, bookcase and work table suggest that this interior has been converted to a working study, in which the occupant is surrounded by his pictures, books and sculptures.
