Design for one wall for the second scheme for the eating parlour (later the ball room), 1775, as executed (1)

As in many dining rooms, Adam avoided hanging silk on the walls - which would contain and accumulate odours - by designing a series of stucco picture frames instead. Adam's second scheme for the wall ornamentation in the eating parlour was executed in accordance with drawing 6, but Antonio Zucchi's painted panels were never produced, and the stucco frames remain empty.

Within the drawings collection of the Yale Center for British Art at New Haven there is a design drawing as Adam volume 50/57, dated 1775.
