Colourful tables of this type form part of the bedroom furnishings of Osterley Park and are illustrated in M. Tomlin, Catalogue of Adam Period Furniture, London, 1982, p. 159. Such tables harmonised with the fashionable print-hung boudoirs of the 1780s, and this vignette of the lyre-bearing muse Erato, corresponds to the romantic style introduced by Angelica Kauffman (d.1807) during her stay in England from 1766-1781.
