Purpose
Record drawing for a ceiling for the lady’s dressing room, 1778, as executed (1)
Signed and dated
- 1778
Notes
The lady’s dressing room is located on the principal storey of Adam’s central block, at the western end of the garden (south) front, between the principal bedchamber and the little dressing room. On Adam’s plan of the house (Adam volume 43/46) the room is labelled as the Closet. The lady’s dressing room and the little dressing have been knocked together to form a single room which is used as a library. However, the ceilings for both dressing rooms were executed in accordance with Adam’s designs (Adam volume 12/64-65) and both survive in situ.
