Nieuw Amsterdam : Ritz-Carlton Room Mural

To the right and left of the entrance to the Ritz-Carlton, two large fresco panels by Han Hulsbergen symbolize the coming and passing of day with excellently drawn classical figures. These paintings interpret the susceptibility of the room to change in light conditions. Behind the music platform is a heavy, curved ebony-and-gold partition in back of which is a small black and white semi-circular cocktail bar, into which debbies may dodge from their mothers- if their mothers aren’t there first.
