About this work

This painting shows a group of men in 16th-century clothing, gathered around a table with papers and drawings. One man stands out, wearing a white shirt with a red belt and a dark jacket. He's holding a large piece of paper and seems to be explaining something to the others. The men are all dressed in the style of the time, with ruffs, cloaks, and hats.

The painting is held at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
