Translation examples
Isabel, having descended from her cab, was greeted in the glow of the pillared front portal by a gorgeous personage in scarlet and gold livery and a powdered periwig, who with regal tread conducted her to a vast, mirrored salle de dessin, which seemed to her at first sight to be on fire, so dazzling was the illumination—there were no fewer than three grand and shimmering chandeliers, suspended in a row—and so intense the hum and crackle of the medleyed voices of the company, gathered there under a magnificent vaulted ceiling with classical scenes of unbridled romping from the bright, perhaps too bright, brush of Le Brun.
A Isabel, después de apearse del coche, la recibió en la esplendorosa entrada con pilastras un imponente personaje con librea de escarlata y oro y una peluca empolvada, que con paso regio la condujo hasta una enorme salle de dessin con espejos, que a primera vista daba la impresión de estar en llamas, tan cegadora era la iluminación —había no menos de tres arañas majestuosas y deslumbrantes, colgadas en fila— y tan intenso el crepitar y el zumbido de las voces entremezcladas del grupo reunido debajo de un magnífico techo abovedado con escenas clásicas de desenfrenado esparcimiento obra del luminoso, tal vez demasiado luminoso, pincel de Le Brun.
