Turquoise walls with large portraits on either side of doorway. Fleur-de-lys carpet, fireplace to left wtih mirror and round painting. Chairs and chests line the walls. Chandelier from relatively plain ceiling. View seen through other room.

The paintings in the room can be identified from contemporaneous inventories: Beechey’s portraits of George IV’s sisters appear as overdoors; we can see Princess Augusta (left, 403416) and Princess Amelia (right, 403414). Above the mirror on the left wall hangs Drouais’s Madame de Pompadour (403908); on the right wall opposite is Boeckhorst’s ‘Falconer’, then attributed to Rubens (407527). Two Van Dyck full lengths hang on the wall facing us, his portrait of Prince Henry of Wales on the left (404320) and of Gaston D’Orleans to the right (given away by George IV and now at Chantilly).
