Notes
This preparatory sketch might have been made as a study for an unexecuted exhibition drawing. It shows the Royal Gallery to an early, unexecuted design, similar to SM 71/2/73, with heraldic ornaments over the doors, a bracketed cornice, a panelled ceiling with rosettes and an equestrian statue in the centre of the room facing towards the Royal Gallery.
