‘100 Lhe Official Guide to the 
The Picture Gallery. 
On leaving the Ornithological Collections, the visitor 
immediately enters the Picture Gallery. This fine 
room is one of the three larger-sized galleries in the 
range of buildings adjoining the Keep of the Castle. 
It extends in length from north to south, and is entered | 
near its north end through swing doors in its east 
wall. At present it contains the greater part of the 
works of art belonging to the Museum. On its east 
and west walls are the oil paintings ; those on the east 
side being chiefly pictures by members of, what is now 
known as, the ‘‘Norwich School” of painters. - At the 
south end of the room are the sketches in black and 
white and the etchings. On the north wall are the 
water colours. These drawings, both on the north and 
south walls, are also mostly by Norwich artists. It will 
be well to bear in mind this arrangement, as it will be 
found a useful guide to the position of any particular 
work, for at present the pictures are not numbered. 
As, however, the names of the painters are placed on 
the frames of the pictures, we shall be able, by means 
of their position, to point out those of the greatest 
interest. In doing so, we shall not take them in the 
order in which they would be passed in a walk round 
the room, but shall single out the works of particular 
artists in whatever part of the gallery they may be 
found ; and thus, we hope, give the visitor as much 
information as possible in the way that will most 
readily help him. 
With these preliminary observations we pass to the 
pictures exhibited. 
“THORPE WaTER FROLIC— AFTERNOON,” by 
JOSEPH STANNARD (born 1797, died 1830). In the 
centre of the east wall is the most important work 
here exhibited of the Norwich School.
