A group of eight people stand on and around a red-carpeted raised platform or daïs, with a background of curtains or tapestries and a stone column. The king stands in front of his throne; the queen to his left is seated. The bishop stands wearing robes and miter and holding a tall cross, although not a hooked crozier.
