Drawing, Apartments of Queen Elizabeth of Prussia, Charlottenburg Palace, Berlin
This is a Drawing. It was created by Elizabeth Pochhammer. It is dated 1864 and we acquired it in 1957. Its medium is brush and watercolor, white gouache, gold paint over graphite on thick white wove paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
This exquisite drawing documents Queen Elizabeth of Prussia’s library and study at Charlottenburg Palace. The interior is an eclectic mix of baroque and rococo furniture from the royal collection and newly fabricated pieces. A colorful rococo-revival carpet, porcelains, and portiere draperies dividing the rooms impart privacy and coziness to this informal bourgeois interior.
