La decoración ideada por François Grognard para los apartamentos de la duquesa de Alba en el palacio de Buenavista
La importancia del adorno de interiores en el siglo XVIII apenas ha dejado vestigios materiales más allá de las residencias palaciegas, siendo igualmente escaso el estudio de sus fuentes.
