Joseph Manigault House Withdrawing Room Door

Description:

Pastel pencil drawing on paper illustrating the arched doorway that leads from the withdrawing room to the drawing room in the Joseph Manigault House. Smith uses the full spectrum of color, which causes the house to appear enlivened, despite the lack of human presence, rather than quiet or soothing.
