Purpose
Preliminary design, design, finished drawing and record drawing for a funerary monument, 1775, executed with alterations (4)
Notes
The monument to Lady Milton was executed in accordance with Adam's designs in Adam volume 19/63-64, albeit making use of Agostino Carlini's effigies shown in Adam volume 19/62.
The draughtsman of Adam volume 19/62 is not known. It was suggested by Webb that this drawing is by Carlini, but he also questioned why a sculptor would place two life-sized stone figures on a support which could not possibly bear their weight.
