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 Boulle-style writing table and a Morel and Seddon 'Klismos' style sofa (RCIN 31373) in front 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 damask wallpaper replacing the pattern of Edward VII's monogram surrounded by a wreath and surmounted by a crown. The carpet has also been changed since the photograph of 1903 (see 2936833).
