Purpose
Record drawing for a ceiling for the circular dressing room, March 1768, unexecuted (1)
Notes
As this domed ceiling design is drawn on a flat sheet of paper, with no darts included in the drawing to allow for the curve of the dome, the edges are shown foreshortened, and a better view of the lower portion of the dome design can be seen in the section drawings for the room (Adam volumes 14/124 and 14/125).
