Description
Homewood Museum invites artists of all ages and abilities to spend an hour sketching the Drawing Room. This vibrant room, which is decorated to appear as it might have circa 1812, contains several collection highlights, including period musical instruments, painted furniture, portraits of George Washington and Charles Carroll of Carrollton, and colorful reproduction wallpaper. A docent will be on hand to answer any questions about the room, the collection, and the history of the house and its inhabitants.
