Description
A Neoclassical architectural drawing depicting a detailed ceiling design, attributed to Robert Adam (Scottish, 1728-1792), dated 1785. The design features symmetrical classical motifs, characteristic of Adam’s Neoclassical style. Handwritten inscriptions at the bottom include « Ceiling of the Saloon – Mr. Adam » centrally, and « R. Adam Inv. 1785 » to the left, suggesting the design was invented by Robert Adam in 1785. The artwork is executed in ink and likely wash on paper. It is presented in a gold-colored, likely gilt-wood, frame under glass. A small blue label on the frame’s bottom right reads « GLIMMER / REF 35 / FRAME ».
Condition report:
The drawing appears to be in good overall condition, with some age-related toning evident on the paper consistent with its age. The frame shows minor wear.
