Two Busts in a Conversation piece by Marcellus Laroon





Two Busts in a Conversation Piece. 
A Painting by Marcellus Laroon the Younger (1679 - 1772).

Royal Collection.






The subject of the left hand bust is not readily identifiable but the bust over the doorway with laurel leaves bears a close resemblance to the bust of George I below.

It might be possible to identify the location from the Cypher on the ironwork of the gate seen through the  window.
