Drawing, Design for a Bourgeois Biedermeier Interior
This is a Drawing. It was designed by R. Haes. It is dated 1853–58 and we acquired it in 1954. Its medium is brush and watercolor, white gouache, pen and black ink on wove paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
Coblenz (Koblenz), Germany, was a tourist mecca, especially after 1842, when King Friedrich Wilhelm IV and Queen Elisabeth took up summer residence in the nearby Schloss Stolzenfels after a renovation by Karl Friedrick Schinkel. The furnishings date from the 1840s, and the ceramic tile stove features Schinkel-style classical motifs. The wallpaper with contrasting red Gothic pelmet frieze is typical of German and Austrian Biedermeier wallpapers, and is comparable to the wallpaper design displayed nearby.
