Watercolour on wove paper, later inscription, in ballpoint on reverse of surround 'View of Kew',
The Archives of Kew Gardens, in an email dated March 2026, were unable to identify this watercolour with any particular building, but point towards a similar design of a garden pavilion by William Chambers [1723-1796] in the Sir John Soane's Museum https://collections.soane.org/THES70660 Ref. 43/7/12. Numerous garden buildings were erected at Kew Gardens by Chambers and other designers, and many are unrecorded. This pavilion could even have been for another garden in Kew like Syon Park. See, HARRIS, J. & SNODIN, M. Sir William Chambers Architect to George III. 1996, and, DESMOND, R. Kew The History of the Royal Botanic Gardens, 1995. Provenance: Tom Greeves [1917-1997], Architect and Artist..
