• a young aristocrat on a throne, surrounded by his court, to whom a princess is presented.
• He wears blond and long hair (like Maximilian), a command staff in hand, a collar on his neck (unidentified, not a collar of the order of chivalry like that of Saint-Michel, or the Golden Fleece), is seated on a throne covered with a cloth embroidered with pomegranates that sinks to the ground. * court composed on his right of a group of three women, a couple close to the prince, the princess and a matchmaker making a hand gesture as if to convince the future wife / fiancée of the merits of this union.
• to the left of the prince is a man between two women
• the princess is blonde (so by Anne of Brittany), wears a complex headdress (crown, escoffion, tourette), a dress with gold at the base and belt, a coat filled with ermine, a necklace. She receives an offering (spherical object in a silverware dish enhanced with pearls) from a blond servant, bending the knee, in a dress split on the side, being the only discovered character in the image, as a sign of respect.
• the scene takes place on a floor of a thousand flowers (strawberry, daffodils, honeysuckle? Type XV) and trees appear in the background. A shield occupies each of the upper corners, it certainly identified the sponsor of the work (research to follow). The whole is framed by a fat frieze of flowers (roses, daisies, pansies), leaves, fruits (bunches of grapes) and thin intertwined headbands, which links the work to the Brussels production center.
* clothing: bear's feet shoes (>1480), berets (deb. XVI), stockings (red), tunics on the thighs with gold at the ends, women's hair visible under particularly rich and complex headdresses (goldsmith's turrets, escoffions), square necklines revealing a shirt, goldsmith's necklaces (no order of chivalry apparently). Mixture of fifteenth and early sixteenth elements that justify the estimated dating.
* hair style: middle parting and blond for women, long neck hair for men (late fifteenth-early sixteenth, cf. Charles VIII, Ferdinand of Aragon, Charles V young) Our house assures you the sale of a tapestry with invoice and approved expertise, well cleaned, in good condition with its fixing system.
