The drawing is rendered with fine lines, conveying a sense of elegance and grace, typical of the intricate dress styles depicted. The phrase "Cum Privilegio Reg. Israelexcudit" is inscribed at the bottom. The background is plain, focusing attention on the detailed costumes and postures of the figures.
