This watercolor rendering is all that survives of the interior decorations Tiffany provided for the Lyceum Theatre in New York. After consulting with John La Farge, theater impresario Steele MacKaye gave the commission to Tiffany, his former schoolmate. The color scheme is carefully composed in browns, reds, and yellow, with much of the wall and ceiling relieved by silver stenciled-and-painted classically inspired designs. A large hanging light fixture, described as "numerous large pear-shaped globes of opalescent glass swung by silver wires," dominated the space. This was particularly noteworthy because when it opened in 1885, it was the first theater to utilize electricity for overhead fixtures and the stage.
