# A French Restoration Bedroom, in Romanticism

Bouilhet, French painted this in 1823. It is now at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York.

From the museum's label:

> The style of this small but elegantly decorated bedroom is a reaction to the ornate, gilded and ormolu-encrusted taste of the Empire period. Pale gray paneled walls and polished floorboards create a subdued background. Windows are hung with white muslin curtains, the swags trimmed with tassels.
