Photograph of the Picture Gallery, now known as the Queen's Drawing Room, Windsor Castle, towards the fireplace. There is a mixture of furniture in different styles and periods, and many paintings on the wall. For example there is a centre table to right. There is a Boulle-style writing table (RCIN 35830) and a sofa backing onto it, facing the fireplace. On the mantlepiece is a row of seven porcelain jars or vases. At the back of the room is a Boulle cabinet on stand (RCIN 31341). The wallpaper is a repeating pattern of Edward VII's monogram surrounded by a wreath and surmounted by a crown. The carpet is patterned with Tudur roses intersected by oak leaves. The portrait on the left of the painting over the mantlepiece, with lights reflecting on its glass, is the portrait of Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk (RCIN 404439) by Hans Holbein, one of the most powerful Tudur men.
