Overdoor


This overdoor painting by Francesco Guardi (1712-1793) is now decorating the Duchess's bedroom in Her apartments of the South East Pavilion of the Secretaries of State. A similar painting by the same Venetian artist is facing this one, above the opposite door. Work continues on the bedroom decoration. The antechamber, next door, has received a white wood paneling decoration and a new fireplace as well. We may show you a photograph of this last room when its floor is completed.
