Margravine's Rooms: Drawing Room with Gold Ceiling

Only Wilhelmine would have thought of decorating a ceiling with shells, coral and algae. This created a form of grotto where she could withdraw to read or write letters.

A well-known pastel painting of Margravine Wilhelmine can also be seen here. The artist, Jean-Étienne Litoard, who was the most famous pastel painter of the 18^th century, was commissioned to paint this portrait by Maria Theresia when she was on the way to Frankfurt for the imperial coronation of her husband.
