Beautiful antique oil portrait
Rich and dark against the Gustavian glaucose interior…
Lars Sjöberg’s Ekensberg
Antique plaster relief medallions…
Monotone and refined, elevating the rough textured wall…
the circular shape offsetting the spare angularity.
Ekensberg
18th century carved and gilded barometer…
Another element of richness and curve against the austerity of gray and white.
Three photos above from…
Landelijke Stijl
Piet Swimberghe
Jan Verlinde photos
17th century family portrait rescued from fire and restored…
18th century marble topped console.
La Vie en Rose
Suzanne Lowry
18th century French boiserie…
Two 18th century oil portraits…

18th century round portrait at top almost out of view

Did the large antique clock face trend herald in my interest for
18th century round portraits, barometers, plaster wall medallions?
Same circular shape but deeper into history…
