| Marks and inscriptions | Signed falsely C. Stanfield (The false signature was probably added much later, i.e. not by the artist who first made the copy.) |
| Credit line | Purchased with the assistance of the National Heritage Memorial Fund, Art Fund, Shell International and the Friends of the V&A |
| Object history | According to Rodney Searight: - `Christie's 20/1/70'. |
| Historical context | Adapted from a detail in the bottom right-hand corner of W. Hamilton's design of the same title for a painted panel in the Saloon at Kedleston Hall. See L. Harris, Robert Adam and Kedleston, 1987, p.62 for information and for illustration of original design. SD.1342 is not a straight copy, but it clearly derives from Hamilton's design. See also SD.524. |
