介绍（中）	1799年，著名建筑师、旅行者和收藏家托马斯·霍普从沃里克太后手中买下了伦敦公爵夫人官邸，并着手改造最初的罗伯特·亚当建筑。第一阶段于1801年完工，然后在1819年，霍普自己的设计中增加了一个佛兰德美术馆，由威廉·阿特金森担任建筑商。房子后面50乘20英尺的空间有一个平坦的格子天花板和凸起的高侧窗，用来照亮从兄弟亨利·菲利普·霍普那里继承的荷兰和佛兰德绘画收藏。墙上挂着画，房间里有一个桃花心木屏风，屏风上有铰链，可以让作品摆动，还配有隔间，可以放书和对开本。霍普设计了这一功能和其他家具，并允许公众在节日期间的星期一进入（通过推荐或推荐信进入）。比林斯可能是在1833年之后，在约翰·布里顿的训练下，在1851年房子被拆除之前绘制这幅画的。
介绍（英）	In 1799 Thomas Hope, the famous architect, traveller and collector, purchased Duchess House, London from the Dowager Lady Warwick and set about remodelling the original Robert Adam building. The first stage was finished by 1801 then, in 1819, a Flemish Picture Gallery was added to Hope's own designs, with William Atkinson acting as builder. The fifty by twenty foot space at the rear of the house had a flat coffered ceiling and raised clerestory to light the collection of Dutch and Flemish paintings inherited from a brother Henry Philip Hope. Pictures hung on the walls, and on a mahogany screen running the length of the room equipped with hinges to allow the works to swing out, and fitted with comparments to hold books and folios of engravings. Hope designed this feature, and the rest of the furnishings, and allowed public access on Mondays during the Season (admittance obtained through recommendation or letter of reference). Billings probably made this drawing after 1833, after training under John Britton, and before 1851, when the house was demolished.
