Bonomi (Joseph)

possibly a design for Laverstoke Park, Hampshire, pen and watercolour, 245 x 715mm., 9½ x 28¼in., black ruled border, scale at foot, bottom left corner torn off.

***Provenance: By descent from Joseph Bonomi to the present owner. A group of drawings by Bonomi from this collection was sold in these rooms, 1 June 2000, lots 80-87. Four drawings by Bonomi for Laverstoke Park dated 1797 are in the RIBA Drawings collection. Its catalogue notes that the house was extensively remodeled in the 19th century, and "only the ground floor feature of the glazed triple arched loggia giving off the library remains unaltered". Similar Diocletian windows were employed by Bonomi at Great Packington Church, Warwickshire and at Langford, Shropshire, both of 1789-92. .
