Whitney Plantation Interior Painting Ceiling Medallion
The main house of the Whitney Plantation on the German Coast (along the west bank of the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana) is done in the Creole style. An itinerant painter worked on many of the fine plantation houses in this area. This is a detail of the delicate painted decorations inside the house. It is original to the house and has been meticulously cleaned and restored.
The ceiling medallion is in the sitting room on the upper floor. The small dark patch at the bottom of the picture shows what it looked like before cleaning.
