This watercolor shows a fancy private library built in 1833. The room is shaped like an eight-sided box. It was made for Sir George Thomas Staunton at his Hampshire estate. The architect Lewis Vulliamy designed both the library and the nearby lodges. He finished the building the year before the watercolor was painted. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works by this artist.
