Baroque Ballroom (Night)

an original late-17th-century Baroque ballroom in a private palace: white and gold carved wall panelling with gilded scrolls, tall arched windows down the left wall with heavy crimson silk drapes, a row of tall mirrors in gilded frames between gilded pilasters on the right wall reflecting only the windows opposite, a painted ceiling of sky and clouds with no figures, three crystal chandeliers holding wax candles, a musicians' balcony with a gilded balustrade across the far wall, inlaid parquet floor in a geometric star pattern, and an empty expanse of parquet in the centre about four metres from the camera
