This painting shows a large group of people gathered around a woman sitting on a throne. She's holding a laurel wreath and a scroll, and she's wearing a long red robe. The people around her are all dressed in different styles, some in old-fashioned clothes and others in more modern outfits. The woman on the throne seems to be the main focus of the painting, and the people around her are all looking at her or interacting with each other. The background is a large stone building with arches and columns. The painting seems to be celebrating the city of Antwerp and its artistic heritage. To learn more about the artist behind this work, look up Nicaise De Keyser.
