Bright blue distemper on walls, red curtains framing 2 windows. Fireplace and mirror with candelbras to right. Chest with ornaments to left. Louis XVI ebony table in between windows, with statuettes.
The paintings in the room can be identified from contemporaneous inventories: four of a set of Beechey portraits of George IV’s sisters appear as overdoors, clockwise they are Princesses Amelia (403414), Sophia (403417), Mary (403415) and Augusta (403416); Princess Elizabeth is hidden by a chandelier. Jan Boeckhorst’s ‘Falconer’, then attributed to Rubens (407527), hangs on the left wall, and opposite it, above the mirror, Drouais's Madame de Pompadour (403908). -
