The Royal Łazienki Museum in Warsaw
Warsaw, Poland

The walls of the Concert Room
are lined with green silk and hung with paintings, among which it is
worth noting Charles André van Loo’s Venus and Amor, Antoine Pesne’s Idyll (Angelica and Medora) (1751), Ancient Ruins by Giovanni Paolo Panini (?), as well as Sheep and Goats
by Philipp Peter Roos known as Rosa di Tivoli. On the end of the long
axis of the room is a sandstone fireplace, on the mantelpiece of which
an Empire-style clock with an image of Pericles is displayed, and next
to it – candlesticks made in the same style, in the form of winged
female figures in standing positions.

On the other side of the room stands a column with a marble bust of
Faustina the Younger, wife of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius (a copy
of an ancient sculpture from the Museo Capitolino in Rome, 2nd half of
the 18th century, from the collection of Stanisław August). On both
sides of the porte-fenêtre, visitors will find two rococo
commodes on which are two small bronze statues of seated Roman women,
made in 1791 by Francesco Righetti in Rome, depicting Agrippina, mother
of Emperor Nero. The interior contains a Classicist collection of
white-lacquered furniture and beige-lacquered Neo-Rococo Steinway &
Sons piano dating from 1899.
