Interior of Chapel.

Lambert employs precise linear drawing to delineate the chapel’s geometry, using strong contour lines to render the arches, walls, and furnishings. The treatment of light is achieved through varied hatching, giving the stone a cool, solid appearance. The absence of figure and the emphasis on architectural form reflect an 18th‑century interest in topographical accuracy.

Created in 1776, the drawing entered the Victoria and Albert Museum’s holdings as part of its extensive collection of British architectural sketches. Its attribution to James Lambert senior, a draughtsman active in the late 18th century, is supported by stylistic analysis and museum records documenting its acquisition.
