Painted view of a museum gallery with a dark column in the foreground, marble statues on pedestals, and an ornate ceiling.

View of the Salle de Septime Sévère in the Louvre

A gallery interior seen past a tall dark column, with classical marble statues on pedestals, a bust at left, and an arched doorway in the rear wall. Ornate painted ceiling panels and a polished tiled floor reflect soft light. The loose, sketchy brushwork suggests an oil study of a museum room.
