A drawing of the room at Horace Walpole's Strawberry Hill villa that connected the Gallery with the Holbein Chamber. An arched passageway dominates the right side of the image, thorough which the edge of a canopy bed and a chair are visible. Beyond this furniture is another arched passageway leading into the Holbein Chamber, with the chimneypiece and its surroundings plainly visible. The long and narrow connecting room makes up the foreground, its walls and ceiling decorated with the simple motif of parallel lines periodically intersecting to create a lattice. A stained glass window is seen at the far end of the room, on the left edge of the image
