Corpse of Patroclus
Corpse of Patroclus
Intricate carvings of classical scenes above the windows of the Nithsdale Lodgings illustrate the Maxwells’ desire for sophistication.
This window carving shows vultures feeding on the corpse of Patroclus. Was this intended to foster good behaviour in the Maxwell family’s visitors?
