Purpose

Record drawing and drawing made for publication of the Breakfast Room and Library interiors (2)

Notes

Drawing 255 indicates the Breakfast Room of Soane's Pitzhanger, showing a figure at his desk, beyond the doorway. Statues are shown on plinths rather than within niches. However, caryatids can still be seen in the corners.

The perspectives shown in drawing 256 were evidently copied from Gandy's earlier watercolours 205 (section 9) and 221 (section 10).
