The Betrothal of Margaret of Austria to Philip III, King of Spain

Raffaello Schiaminossi

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of individuals gathered on and around steps in an interior setting. The central figures seem to be engaged in a conversation, with one figure slightly bending forward. Others around them are dressed in historical European fashion, with some wearing head coverings. A woman holds a child to the right of the central figures, and additional figures are nearby. The background features columns and arches, suggesting a formal space.
