(Study of a Luxurious interior Scene with Stairway, Chairs, Carpets, and Mirrors)
1892–1895

Pencil sketch of an interior scene featuring a central staircase with a curved handrail, flanked by two ornate columns. The room has decorative elements such as framed pictures on the walls, a patterned border near the ceiling, and a couple of chairs in the foreground. The drawing is on beige paper with visible creases and worn edges, suggesting age.
