This powerful scene captures the essence of medieval royalty and chivalry. The attention to detail in their attire is remarkable. The figure kneeling on the ground wears a houppelande adorned with fur, while his berretino rests casually over his shoulder. Behind him stands another man whose cloak resembles a tabard with its long side-entrance. The setting is grandiose, as befits such an occasion. A regal canopy hangs overhead, symbolizing the importance of this presentation ceremony. The king holds a sceptre in one hand and presents the gleaming sword with reverence and honor.
