The engraving features multiple figures in historical attire. Most figures are shown from the waist up, with two men on each side shown in full. In the center, a kneeling man is depicted in profile, bowing slightly with one arm extended. He wears a cape and knee-length pants, with a ruffled collar. To the left, a woman stands elevated on a step, wearing an elaborately patterned gown and an intricate ruff. Her hair is styled elegantly. Across from her, several observers stand in a line, mostly women in similar long gowns with ruffled collars. The men also wear cloaks, doublets, and decorative collars, holding cylindrical objects. The scene is indoors, indicated by a paneled background suggestive of a grand hall.
