Purpose

Full size working drawings for the ornamental panels of a pianoforte case for Queen Charlotte, 1780, probably unexecuted (4)

Notes

This design recalls that made by Adam for Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia (illustrated in the Works, I:v:pl. viii), but is even more richly ornamented. There is no evidence that this pianoforte was executed.
