A watercolour showing a topographical interior view of Queen Victoria's sitting room at the royal residence of Claremont, with chintz covers on the furniture, paintings of ponies and other animals on the walls, and toys on the floor. Dated on the mount.
Queen Victoria used Claremont, near Esher in Surrey, as a country retreat during the first decade of her reign, but made much less use of it after she and Prince Albert acquired Osborne House on the Isle of Wight in 1845.
