Description
Interior of Carlton House, London showing the Ante Room on the principle floor. To the left (as viewed) there are two sets of doors with a table between them and portraits of the royal family and of A Young Man with a Falcon by Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) Flemish artist, hanging on the walls. The back wall has a Louis XVI ebony table and statuettes between two large windows decorated with curtains. To the right is a fireplace between two large doors and more portraits. From the relatively plain ceiling hangs a chandelier.
