- Abstract:
- A drawing of the Holbein Chamber at Horace Walpole's home, Strawberry Hill in Twickenham. An arched passageway is seen near the center of the image, thorough which a canopy bed and a chair are visible. On either side of the passageway are pierced arches forming a screen, the design for which was taken from the gates of the choir of Rouen. Wooden furniture lines the wall of the room at left, above which framed works of art hang. Across the room on the right is the chimneypiece designed after the tomb of Archbishop Warham at Canterbury; an embroidered firescreen and two blue vases sit in front of the fireplace. The ornate ceiling, taken from the Queen's dressing-room at Windsor, dominates the top half of the image; a large, colorful rug sits on the floor in the center of the room
