John Bayliss, the poet and literary editor, wondered whether Interior was based on the Long Gallery at Chiswick House, the neo-Palladian Villa only a short distance from Colquhoun’s studio. There are similarities, but Professor Watkin of Peterhouse, Cambridge, in a letter dated 4/3/03 wrote that the room ‘looks a bit like a decorator’s design of the 1920s, for the proportion of the French windows and their glazing at the far end is not really Georgian or classical, but more 20th Century in flavour.’
