Nineteenth-century Watercolor Interiors from the Thaw Collection

comunicato stampa

This exhibition showcases Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw’s collection of nineteenth-century watercolor drawings, which meticulously detail the era’s interior furnishings and document the social, cultural, and aesthetic development of European domestic life. The collection includes examples of English, German, Russian, French, Italian, and Austrian domestic spaces. Selected objects from the Museum’s permanent collection will complement the drawings.
