Queen Victoria's second royal yacht was launched in 1855. Its interiors were largely designed by Prince Albert, and the Queen commissioned a sequence of watercolours depicting the yacht's various rooms from Penley after the Prince's death. The furniture in this room was of maplewood. Against the wall to left is a piano by Erard. Black-edged writing paper lies on the table in the foreground.Provenance
