Small drawing room of the Huntington residence
Visual Materials
View of the north end of the small drawing room in the residence, the dining room is visible through the open door. Reflected in the mirror is Thomas Gainsborough's The Cottage Door (circa 1780). Through the door can be seen Gainsborough's Elizabeth (Jenks) Beaufoy, later Elizabeth Pycroft (circa 1780). The clock on the mantel is stamped Japy Frères et Cie and is from 1785 or later. MS note on verso reads "HEH residence as art gallery: large drawing room." This identification as the large drawing room is incorrect. Stamp on verso reads "This print is released as a personal courtesy and is not for publication. All syndicate and publication rights reserved. Eyre Powell Press Service."
