131. Kensington Palace: The Cupola Room by Richard Cattermole, c.1817.

One of three large reception rooms added to Kensington Palace for George I in 1717–19, the Cupola Room was painted by William Kent, his first royal commission. The ceiling, painted in imitation of coffering, culminates in the Garter star. Kent also designed the tables and chandeliers. At the centre of the room is a large musical clock made by Charles Clay, which was placed here by Augusta, Princess of Wales in about 1743. This watercolour was made for W.H. Pyne’s History of the Royal Residences (1816–19).
