About this work

This painting shows a woman in a blue dress with a red cloak, wearing a crown. She stands in front of a man in a gold robe, who holds a scepter. In the background, there are several other people, some of whom are looking at the woman. The scene is set in a courtyard with columns and arches. The woman's gesture suggests she is refusing something. To learn more about the artist's style, look up Pierre Des Mares the Elder.
