This small interior was used as a service room of the Second Reserve Premises of the Winter Palace where the "guests of the highest rank" and members of the royal family were temporarily accommodated. On display in the room are paintings by the German artists of the 16th century: Venus and Cupid (1509), The Virgin and Child under the Apple-Tree (1520s) and Portrait of a Woman (1526) by Lucas Cranach the Elder; Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery (after 1535) by Lucas Cranach the Younger; the companion pieces Portrait of a Man with His Three Sons and Portrait of a Lady with Her Daughter (late 1530s - early 1540s) by Barthel Bruyn the Elder. The room also houses samples of 16th-century wooden sculpture, decorative objects, articles made of tin (Edelzinn) in the late 16th and early 17th centuries and a chest dating from the 16th century.
