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. The others stand around in various positions; the king is addressing the “rustic” person.
The people shown in the drawing are captioned from left to right as follows:
Pysician. Gentleman.
Bishop.
King. [see separate King picture]
Queen.
Costume of a Lady.
Nobleman. Rustic.
