NOTES: This bed was probably seen in the Palazzo Reale di Capodimonte (now a museum) which was Joachim Murat's home during the period he was the Napoleonic King of Naples (1808-1815). This drawing is in a small Italian sketchbook, dated 'Napoli, April 17, 1815', from Cockerell's Grand Tour of the eastern Mediterranean and Italy between 1810 and 1817.
