It is not known whether this design for a chimneypiece at Stowe was ever executed, though the bas-relief panel shown in this drawing—the family of Darius before Alexander sculpted by Christophe Veyrier in around 1680—is today attached to a wall in Stowe’s north hall. William Kent’s chimneypiece was probably designed to surround the existing panel in that room. The chimneypiece has the bold profile and high-relief decoration typical of the mid-eighteenth century, with scrolled brackets supporting a heavily molded pedimented mantel shelf. The bas-relief is framed by a panel and attenuated scroll moldings, and surmounted by a broken pediment supporting a sculpted helmet. The drawing has the characteristic marginalia seen in Kent's architectural drawings. It is unclear, however, whether these drawings were made at the same time as the chimneypiece design, or whether they were added to the sheet later as decoration. Both chimneypiece design and marginalia are in Kent's own hand, though the color of their washes vary, suggesting the drawings may have been executed at different times.
