This allegorical portrait symbolizes honor and loyalty as Don Pedro reverently kisses the sword held by the king. Ingres masterfully captures the opulence and grandeur of this historical moment. The rich colors and intricate details bring life to each character's attire, from Don Pedro's elegant ruff collar to Henry IV's regal robes. Through his meticulous brushwork, Ingres showcases his technical prowess while also conveying a sense of reverence and respect. This painting serves as a testament to the complex relationships between nations during this period.
