This small room was part of the service rooms for the Second Reserve Apartment in the Winter Palace, where guests were accommodated. The display is devoted to German 16th-century art. The legacy of Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553) is represented in the museum by five works, the most notable being Venus and Cupid, Virgin and Child under an Apple-Tree and Portrait of a Woman. Here one can also see Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery by Lucas Cranach the Younger, the paired portraits of A Man with His Three Sons and A Lady with Her Daughter by Bartel (Bartolomaus) Bruyn the Elder and also works of sculpture and applied art.
