Design for a Wall Elevation, ca. 1770–80, Pen and black ink with brush and gray, brown, green, and blue washes over graphite underdrawing., Sheet: 7 3/4 × 10 1/4 in. ( × cm), Étienne de Lavallée-Poussin (French, Rouen 1733–1793 Paris), This detailed wall design by the artist Étienne de Lavallée-Poussin is a very beautiful example of how elements from Classical Antiquity were adapted to fit a modern-day 18th-century interior. The overall scheme of his design – a fireplace in the center, combined with painted wall panels and the torchères - goes back to 17th-century French examples, but the individual parts are all attuned to the latest taste for neoclassical design
