Lot Essay

This shows the same lodge covered in foliage as appears in lots 104 and 105, with, on the left, the column at that period dedicated to Frances Napier. This was rededicated to Augusta, Dowager Princess of Wales, on her death in 1772 and is now at Mount Stuart.

The original mount of this drawing is close to that of the drawing of the old house referred to in the introduction to this group of watercolours, p.189, fig.1.
