拍品專文

The interior view of the British Museum shows the main staircase of Montague House, the original home of the museum on the same site. This is probably a preliminary work for a larger watercolour by George Scharf done in 1845 - 'The Entrance Hall of the Old British Museum, Montague House' in the collection of the British Museum.
