Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.
The Prince of Wales (the future King George IV, left) leads a goat with the head of Mrs. Fitzherbert (right) to the door of the forecourt of a large town-house, held partly open by the Duchess of York. The Prince wears in his hat a leek, with his motto, 'ich dien'. In place of a star he wears a medallion enclosing a pair of goat's horns. He holds his goat by a ribbon wreathed with roses. Mrs. Fitzherbert has goat's horns and wears a coronet with the Prince's feathers; she looks up at him with an expression of dignified surprise. ... The door of the Duke's house is surmounted by a pediment decorated with the Prussian eagle and pairs of doves.
Peel, Robert, 1788-1850, former owner.
