Assembly of Four Kings, in the foreground Four Men

Leonhard Beck

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of royals seated on thrones with attendants standing before them. The image features four figures seated on elevated thrones, each wearing elaborate robes and holding staffs. They are adorned with crowns and draped in patterned fabrics. The seated figures are surrounded by a canopy overhead with floral and abstract patterns. In front of the royals stand several figures, each clad in period-appropriate garments with wide-brimmed hats, doublets, and puffed sleeves. The floor is patterned with a tiled design. The scene is set in an opulently decorated hall, indicated by architectural details visible at the top of the frame.
