Something Blue: Captured by Color, 1886

This oil painting of the Blue Room was made in 2007 by Peter Waddell. The painting captures First Lady Frances Folsom Cleveland standing in the middle of the room looking through opened windows to the South Portico. Louis Comfort Tiffany's 1882 redesign and redecoration of the room is represented in this painting with rich, bold colors. ***Interior use only for publications***
