It is not possible to assign a date range to this drawing as it is included in a volume of record drawings: drawn directly onto the page rather than pasted in. As such this collection of record drawings appears to have been produced as a complete work - perhaps as a catalogue of Adam friezes - and may have been compiled some time after the work at Kenwood.

Pen and pencil drawn directly onto the folio page of laid paper (291 x 470)

Adam office hand, possibly James Adam

VID and fleur-de-lis within crowned cartouche

Bolton, 1922, Volume II, Index p. 19
