Design for an ornamented Cieling for a Staircase, with Elliptical Skylight

The design for this ceiling piece is so detailed and vibrant that it appears to be more of a tapestry or traditional painting. The color pallete seen here is typical of ceilings in the Encyclopaedia Londinensis. The sky blues give way to rich golds and reds and pinks, giving the piece a bit of weight to balance its airy nature.
