Margaret of Austria Giving Audience to a Nobleman [verso]

Raffaello Schiaminossi

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of people in an indoor setting. In the foreground, a man is kneeling and extending his hand towards a seated figure. The kneeling person has visible facial features, a beard, short hair, and is dressed in period clothing with a cloak. The seated figure is on a raised platform or chair, wearing a long robe and a crown. Surrounding them are several standing figures, both men and women, dressed in elaborate historical European fashion. The women have styled hair and wear dresses with intricate patterns. Vertical lines in the background suggest wooden paneling or tapestry on the walls.
