Aldermaston Court, the manor house in Aldermaston Park, was largely destroyed by fire just a few years after Joseph Nash painted this picture. Today (2020) the Victorian replacement manor is for sale.

A boy wearing a sword and a jacket with a ruff is leading a dog with a toy on a string; they are about to go upstairs. To one side, a woman of noble bearing follows. The staircase is wide, rising by perhaps eight or so broad steps to a landing and then turning to the right. On the stop of the newel posts are life-sized scupltures and part-way up the stairs is a family portrait.
