This view shows a large room furnished as a library-music room. Shelves of dark leather-bound books are topped with black library busts of eminent men, a favourite device of the Neo-Classical period. There is a harp and one of the relatively new upright pianos. Lyre-backed chairs continue the musical theme. The clock of about 1840 on its matching bracket might be gilt-mounted tortoiseshell. The room is hung with paintings, among them ancestral portraits, one of a man in armour probably from the seventeenth century, and one apparently of a British army officer of the early nineteenth century. The carpet is fitted to the skirting and right through into the room beyond. An intriguing detail is the framed view lying end-up on the scroll-end couch in the foreground, which appears to be another interior, possibly one of the other rooms in the house
