    well Ive been wrong, Ive been under the impression for awhile that it was a room for doing art in, for when relatively rich people that can afford rooms for random things happen to also be artists.

      Good heavens, no. Imagine if one shifted the atelier into the drawing room. It would be sheer bedlam. One can only imagine where every new servant in the house would be putting things.
