Description
This drawing relates to the screen built by Revett at the western end of the Palmyra or Dining Room which was the First Hall in the eighteenth century, accessed directly from the entrance in the portico designed by Revett (fig. 1); the detailing on the Ionic capitals there is similar to this drawing (fig. 2).
