1873 Renoir - Child with a Whip c1885.  One of Diana's favorites.

1723 A German built desk in the White Hall.  This is the least ornate room in the winter Palace.  It's carved and decorated but all in the same shade of white.

1731 The Red Pilaster Room.  As you can see there's no absence of gold and the parquet floor is beautiful.

1726 Obviously the Gold Room, again in the Winter Palace not in the Gold Rooms vault.  This is the most overwhelmingly decorated room in the palace but too small to get a good perspective for a photo.
