The Queen's Staircase ceiling (detail), showing a seated cherub. In 1734 King George II (1727-60) and Queen Caroline commissioned William Kent to decorate the staircase to the Queen's Apartments, which had remained unfinished since the time of Queen Mary II (1689-94). Kent created a trompe l’oeil oval ceiling within a painted gilded frame, decorated with classical figures and the King and Queen's monogram
