White and gilt stucco ceiling and walls, large pictures, blue swags and curtains with gold trimmings, some in a military tent/French Empire style, particularly at end of room. 2 women talking at end, one sitting on sofa. Fireplace to right.
The four full length portraits, with matching frames designed by John Bradburn in 1768, can easily be identified: at the further end of the room, Ramsay’s George III (left, 405307) and Queen Charlotte (right, 405308); nearer to us are Hoppner’s George IV (left, 405412) and Reynolds’s Frederick, Duke of York (right, 405411). -
