| Description |
English: The Painted Hall Greenwich, from the Upper Hall, showing Nelson's funeral car A brown and grey wash drawing from the west end of the Upper Hall looking down the centre toward the east end. A figure, probably a Greenwich Pensioner, stands in the centre by the railing that separates the Upper from the Lower Hall. The area in the foreground was where Nelson lay in state in January 1806 before his funeral and against the right (south) wall stands his elaborate funeral car, with a white ensign hanging from the staff on its rear side above a transom emulating the stern of Nelson's flagship 'Victory'. The carriage was returned to Greenwich after the ceremony and remained on display in the Painted Hall until dismantled due to decay in about 1826, although its 'Victory' figurehead survives (also in NMM, FHD0093). While this drawing could be an original, it could also be based on the coloured aquatint of the Painted Hall by Black after A.C. Pugin and Thomas Rowlandson, published by Ackerman on 1 January 1810. This shows the same view but with more figures, the element supplied by Rowlandson (PAF7631). |
