Record drawings showing alternative designs for the entrance hall ceiling, November 1795 (6)

Notes

Drawings 91 to 96 show four designs for the entrance hall ceiling: a fluted pendentive dome design with dove sculptural reliefs at the spandrels; a smooth unornamented pendentive dome; a groin vault between lintels; and a groin vault between arches springing from the four columns. The entrance hall has 2/3 fluted Doric columns framing the square central space, with a chimney-piece on the west wall beneath a sculpture relief panel. Some of the designs include figurative statues flanking the chimney-piece.
