Curatorial note
In 1772 Clerisseau, while he was in London, exhibited a small group of works at the Royal Academy (RA Exhibition cat. nos. 49-52). This work could be 49 A bath, composed after the manner of the ancients but it is impossible to prove this.
Provenance
This work is shown in a section through the Dome and Breakfast Room of June 10th 1818, hanging in the Breakfast Room (it appears as a reflection in a mirror, on the right) so must have been in Soane's collection by that time.
