The portrait was found at the Midland Railway in Butterley where the restoration has been taking place. It was on the back of some panelling from the Derby Works - where the coach was built in 1890.
The sketch has now been covered over again so the restoration could be completed.
The carriage is now being moved to to the museum at the Midland Railway where it will be on display from the May Day Bank Holiday.

June election could distract from 2015 expenses affairpublished at 09:30 British Summer Time 19 April 2017

BBC News Online
BBC home affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford has said June's general election could be a useful side-effect for Theresa May by helping the Conservative Party attempt to put the 2015 expenses affair behind it.
The way the Conservatives "battle bus" spending was recorded two years ago is being investigated and Nottinghamshire Police is one of 14 forces to have sent files to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to decide whether charges should be brought.
They have until the end of May or early June to make a final decision.

Chesterfield MP to vote for electionpublished at 09:08 British Summer Time 19 April 2017
BBC Radio Derby
Theresa May's plan for a snap General Election is set to be approved by MPs today. The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said his party will vote in support of the plan.
Chesterfield's Labour MP Toby Perkins has told BBC Radio Derby he will "reluctantly" vote in favour of the election.

He said: "This is an election that's been called partly because the Conservative Party were under pressure with the CPS investigating 30 members of the Conservative Party for election fraud."
He also thinks the election is down to the government's uncertainty over the outcome of Brexit.
The MP said he hopes voters consider more than just Brexit - he said the threat to the NHS is also an important issue that should be at the front of people's minds.
